Tornado

Norman


To all my friends


After long years Tornado hit Norman today May 10, 2010. Norman is second largest city next to Oklahoma City (25 miles away) and we have our university here. When we heard the intense Tornado Alarm at 4:30 pm we ran to safe place in our house. Power went off and after some time, when we felt safe, we came out. Our American friend Anderw came to our home, and hurried us get into car. Robinson and I not delaying jumped into his car. He took us to where Tornado has hit few minutes before, literally we were chasing Tornado few kilometers apart. There were many news channel, vehicles, rescue team, helicopters, and people like us rushed on the way towards tornado. But that was a safe ride. We went 15 km from our home. Finally reached a deserted lake, that met the tornado just before few minutes, and waves were still violent. 

Watch some videos on video page of my orkut / facebook wall shot by me. But I did not cover other vehicles or damaged areas since we did ride fast. All the videos have are roadsides what I caught through car window. And you can hear live radio news what we had in our car.
