Around 6:30pm last night we had a bad storm go thru. The winds got horrible. And I took pictures and video of the sky. There was a funnel cloud forming just west of our house. It moved over our barn and headed NE towards my nieces house. Appearently it didnt become a full tornado, but the winds did break some electric poles leaving the lines in tact over by her house.And also blew a barn down. Last night around 11pm the electricity went off here. The power company de energized the area so they could move lines over to new poles. So power was off for 4 hrs altogether. Pretty scarey stuff.

Here are some pics. My video of the rain coming down sideways is not loading up right for me . So I dont think I will be able to put a link to that here. If I figure something out I will post it.
