Holy crap! Auntie Em!

A tornado touches down in Greensboro of all places!

Luckily for us, the damage occurred 6 or 7 miles to the west of us along I-40 past Hwy 68 by the airport. Planes were pushed around, throwing one into the construction for the FedEx hub:

Heavy rains started by us around 9:30pm or so as we were watching our TiVo'd Dancing with the Stars. Then at 10:00pm as we made our way to bed, instead of E.R. there was constant local weather radar on the screen. 11:30pm or so the tornado hit an industrial park off I-40 near the airport. The House of Gordon is unscathed, but there's quite a bit of damage near us.

All is well with us.
