I was jumping from my car and dropping on my face in a ditch. When I got up.....the pavement was gone about 100 yards in front of my car. 17 dead total I think.....many from a mobile home park in Andover that was, literally, obliterated.

Today is looking eerily similar.....dammit.

Couple things.

1) I was in high school when that happened.
2) I was in high school when that happened.
3) I hope you and yours never get sucked up into one of those. As impressive and awe inspiring as they look on the video, it also is terrifying. Finger of God.

I have been in three. One tried to kill me by trying to suck me out of my office. Six of us were under a table holding on for life. That was in May 01. 7 dead that nite.
