Wow! I can hardly wait to tell my friends about Shaw getting hit by a tornado. They will tell me what I'm full of. Then, I'll say: Shaw, Oregon. Then they'll do vile things to me.
Go to kgw.com for on scene reports
A tornado isn't close until it is under 1/2 mile away.
I totally ignore any at 2 or more miles away.
They are getting upclose and personal at about an eighth of a mile. I met one at a distance of about 400 feet once. About 50 years back.
:hi5:
Still too close for my blood, SJ!! I'm a wuss when it comes to them spinning windy howling things!!! :-/
