There is a tornado on the ground

I have weather alerts on my phone not only for our own county, but for the county I grew up in where my family still lives.  Earlier today we were in the midst of deluge here in our town.  Our ditch flooded like I have not seen in our nearly four years here.  Once it passed though, we've just been hanging out watching a steady rain and watching some TV.  Andrew had a dinner with the superintendent and we were just enjoying some down time.

My phone alert went off though, and it listed my home county as being in a tornado warning.  The skycams that the news station have actually showed the tornado...it could be seen on live television.  Fortunately, that was not actually a tornado in my home town.  There is a pretty good chance that it is going to miss my hometown, but until I know for sure, I'm a little bit shaky.  As it is, there is much family directly in the path where it is hitting.  This is pretty scary!
