I went to Bingo with my Mother today; we sat with a friend near the windows. The sky was sun shining then it started getting dark, and then sound of thunder was heard, saw a big flash of lighting in the bingo hall it is kind of hard to see this with the lights on but I did. The power started going on and off. It started raining hard, another sound of thunder and the lights went out and the emergency lights came one. Wind blowing harder, the hail really coming down hard, and instant thought came to my mind, which later came to be true, the wind was really blowing hard; debris flying through the air, a tornado was going by the windows where we were sitting. We got up and stood away from the windows as we watch this very hard blowing wind go away. Did not last that long but that is the closest I ever been to a tornado. As I saw pictures of the damage it did in other areas where the tornado originated from, I notice this billboard that was supported by metal was bent and the billboard was on the ground, soon as I saw what the billboard said, it was the same billboard that I saw on the way to bingo, the bingo hall is just of that street.
