It's a Twister!

I woke up this morning, and checked my aol, and this is what I saw:

It's the raw footage of the roof being torn from the Metra right here in Billings.

While I was blogging away last night, trying not to panic, a tornado was touching down in Billings. It was an F-2, the first F-2 to touch down in billings since the 50's. The last time a tornado was seen in Billings was in 91, and was an F-1.

The tornado apparently traveled down Main street causing unbelievable damage, but hurting no one. Reiter's Kawasaki is nothing more than a pile of insulation and jetskis. There are some amazing pictures on facebook - from friends and strangers. One friend happened to catch the tornado destroying the Metra on video. They posted the video on facebook, and within minutes had sold it to CNN, ABC and CBS. The best part is that the couple is a pastor and pastor's wife at a local church, and the pastor's wife was "bleeped" on national TV. In my opinion, when you are THAT close to a raging death machine, you are allowed to utter a couple expletives.

Here we are on CBS' The Morning Show.

And here is the raw footage from Kyle and Andrea Reynolds, friends of ours, now "famous":
