One of the tornados hit about 10 miles from me, thankfully it wasn"t any closer than that. It hit the front side of the neighborhood where my wife used to live (where our rental house is), and then moved on through the woods at an angle to total one house, and major cause damage to the next two and minor damage to the "third" Thankfully other than what was basically minor roof damage, etc my buddy, who lived in the "third" house got away pretty good. Once it went past his place it went through a neighborhood taking the top of a two story house and knocking another over, along with doing major damage to several other houses. From there it jumped I485 (really cool to see where that happened) and tore it"s way through two more neighborhoods. Last I heard there were no deaths but there were several minor injuries. I"ve also heard two different times that a kid got caught up in it/sucked out into it, and got dropped on the interstate when it went over. True or not I don"t know but it"s not unheard of I guess.
In my case I hope tornados are like lightening and don"t hit in the same place twice since that"s one of the reasons my house is sitting where it is. One touched down "in the woods" when Hurricane Hugo came though and cleared out a nice spot on my land about a hundred yards wide and maybe half again as long. Between it just being a nice spot, and the fact it was already cleared, it was the logical choice to build...LOL....
