They say that there's a freak storm that haunts this area. I never actually doubted the old folks here with their old wives tales, but I guess I finally got to see that freak storm for the first time tonight. There was a tornado warning issued around 9:00 PM and it lasted for about an hour. No one got hurt thankfully, minimal damage, I actually got to go out and chase it. Nocturnal tornadoes are always so risky, but I guess I just couldn't help myself. Something like this is rare, you know? How could I NOT go out and see it for myself?

In my 25 years on this planet I have seen a lot of tornadoes and experienced a lot of severe weather, but this... There was something a little off about this one. I wasn't able to get very good footage of it with it being night and all, so let's hope that those old timers are right and it comes back. Hopefully during the day next time!
