The Edmond Tornado

Here is a video of the F2 tornado that came through Edmond.
Edmond, where we live, is a Northeastern suburb of Oklahoma City.
Here in Tornado Alley, we really don't get worked up about the storms. We don't get panicked. I think that's primarily because the people who report the weather are very good at what they do (I know that seems counter to what we know about the weather reporters, but it's true here); I work on the campus of the University of Oklahoma in Norman which houses one of the premier storm prediction centers in the world. They can tell exactly where a tornado is going to hit in terms of the street corner and if you really wanted it, I'm sure they can provide an address where the tornado will pay its first visit.
It's cool. Really.
