Tornado just damaged houses on our street... Like 6 houses away the damage starts. Out in Cali we don't have basements so I was huddled in our pantry with both kids flipping out because it was so loud... At least if we got stuck in there we could eat

This is CA not the Midwest, what is up with the tornados - 2 in the last month...

But in all seriousness - I don't want to go through that again. Luckily no one was hurt in any of the houses! Now the news teams and helicopters are everywhere and being loud...

Ya you guys are getting bombed right now hugs

2010weddinggal · March 2014

A few years ago we had 105 mph winds rip through several cities where I live, it took almost a month the restore all the power and clean up all of the trees that had fallen. This weather shit it getting crazy!

lifesaverz · March 2014

Wow Sacramento?? I'm between Sac & SF, I had no idea! I agree, the idea of a tornado in Cali seems so crazy to me! Glad everyone is ok! So crazy that there is damage just down your street a little, wow!

stacers33 · March 2014

That's 2 miles directly west of my house... It's crazy! That's at a cable ski/wake board lake.

playball13 · March 2014

Crazy! We had some rain in the east bay but no hail or tornadoes. I haven't seen a decent storm since we moved from MN about 7 year ago.

stacers33 · March 2014

@pinkshoes1975‌ - I lives in MN 7 years ago too

Small world!

RanFan28 · March 2014

Glad you guys avoided damage and thankful that everyone is okay! Be safe!

Nkhead · March 2014

Holy moly! I'm like an hour from you (Brentwood) hope everyone is ok!

Mrbatesisinnocent · March 2014

I'm in sac too. We were paying close attention to this.

peitri · March 2014

Basements aren't allow in CA due to earthquake factor. Only really really old houses have them still.

katieh704 · March 2014

Glad no one got hurt! How scary!!

tyedyeme12 · March 2014

Glad you guys are alright!

jy725 · March 2014

Glad you're ok! That is so scary!

BoothBaby · March 2014

Glad you are ok!! I'm in the midwest and we actually have outdoor tornado alarms here. Scares the crap out of me when they go off!

BootsOrHearts · March 2014

Midwesterner here and they still freak me out. Green skies give me a panic attack!! I won't live in a house without a basement - especially in the Midwest!!! Our last house had the greatest built in tornado shelter in the basement - covered by 4' of concrete. Then jobs forced a move. Ugh. But still a basement. Stay safe, guys!! And I've heard of ppl drowning in their basements during a tornado from the flash flooding - so a basement isn't the quick remedy people think it is. A centralized, windowless room is really the safest bet if you aren't sure if it is a rain wrapped or dry tornado. :-)

Glad everyone is ok! Scary stuff!

This here is so true. In '08 our city flooded and our house happened to be in the worst hit part. The night it happened there was a tornado 2 miles west of town and 3 feet of water in our basement and the river that's usually a block away was brushing against our next door neighbors house. Scariest night of my life. So, I'd take pantry any day. Plus there is food.

Ltpugs · March 2014

Wow! Glad you are all ok! I can't imagine how scary that must have been.

stacers33 · March 2014

Here is a pic my neighbor took as it was approaching our houses. Not even commenting how stupid it was to take it (from the second floor even), that's a whole different thread, but the pic is cool.

yty0205 · March 2014

So scary!!! Glad you're OK. I used to live in West Texad and SW Oklahoma when I was active duty and I'm now scarred from tornadoes. Nothing freaks me out more!!!!
