Is that Dorthy and Toto?
Sunday evening we went out to eat, from the beginning it didn't go well. Hailey was not happy so I ended up just boxing up my dinner. Then everyone in the restaurant started looking out the window?? Someone tells us there is a funnel cloud. Next thing we know there is an actual tornado touching down. Living in Texas for a year - I don't think tornado's are neat, fun to look at, exciting, etc.., they are damn scary! When we looked out the window we realized it was time to go - NOW. Very quickly we got the girls in the car and headed out - I know you aren't supposed to be in a car when there is a tornado but the alternative was being in a steakhouse were there was no cover. We watched it and it wasn't moving very quickly so Larry quickly drove home. We then spent a nice hour in the basement - and as Larry said "It's a good thing we finished out basement".

OMG Nicole! These are amazing photographs. When Angie was a little girl, we were in a tornado in Great Bend, Kansas. I, too, have a healthy respect for the power of these funnel clouds. I'm so happy you bailed out of the restaurant and all is well. Still, totally amazing photos. Wow.
When I took the photos of the bear in Yosemite, my mom said that if I got pictures that good, I was way too close. This is how I feel about your pics! That's some scary crap. At least you have a basement. If it happens here, we'll all be crammed in a closet.
WOWIE!! Glad you guys left the restaurant and got home into your basement - finished or not!! These are amazing photos - and like one of the previous posts said - for photos this good you must be too close!!! Glad all is okay and you have just an amazing story and photos to show from this amazing event!!
