# A brief vacation update: a tornado!

I'm off till the end of the month, but with a bit of an update: we've been through a tornado. This is a photo just about 1/2 mile from our place ; we saw it from a window as it passed by. If you look at the 2nd, lower funnel, we were just about below that to the east. Quite the experience! The great news is: everyone in the area is ok, the damage was significant but restricted; the swathe was just about 100 feet wide! There are more photos at my twitter feed, http://twitter.com/jimcarroll
