Red, We actually had the early developments, of the tornado that hit Picher, OK, hit us on the highway. While traveling on the highway, my wife said "look at all those birds". I looked and soon realized..."Honey those aren't birds!!" I jerked the Suburban (full of my boys) off the highway. It was a small tornado. What she thought was birds, was actually thousands of leaves flying in a tornado. It just rocked the car for about 1 minute and was gone. the highway was littered with leaves for about 1 mile. After seeing what happened later, I felt blessed to be alive. My 3 yr old thinks he likes tornados now! Thoughts and prayers go out to all affected by these storms.
