I live in a little town in North-west Vermont and I think a tornado touched down here last night. We lost power throughout most of yesterday afternoon and evening. At first I thought it was a really bad thunderstorm but when I looked out my window this morning there were several trees uprooted in the woods behind my house.

I think I heard of it. Just a baby tornado, right?

I don't think it actually hit my house, but my neighbor lost most of his shingles. They said it only had 90 mph winds. It was still pretty freaky seeing the aftereffects.

Freaky indeed. I mean, how random was that? A tornado...just out of the blue!  |

Well, Tornados usually happen in storms.
Sometimes during hurricanes, a lot. As if the gulf coast doesn't have enough to worry about.
At least your house is okay.

Clarification: That is unusual. Who knows...maybe you just keep on missing out on all the tornadoes nearly every day.

I probably just couldn't distinguish between the tornado and the storm. It was raining and lightning like crazy. Yeah, definitely 'Just out of the blue'. And yes, strangely enough the house is unharmed.

It was probably a lot of wind, too. Wind does that.
They would have said on the news if there was a tornado.

I haven't seen a tornado this year. Surprising considering this will be the 3rd year that I have been alive that I haven't seen one (assuming I don't see one for the rest of the summer). Gotta love Kansas, middle of Tornado Alley.
