On Friday May 30th, a tornado actually touched down in he city. It hit an apartment complex on the east side and a school right across the street from it. This photo is the aftermath of what an EF2 tornado caused. When i went there i couldn't believe my eyes. I had never seen anything like this before first hand.
Indiana is right outside of "Tornado Alley" and usually when huge super cells come our way they lose their intensity and just bring rain and a few thunderstorms. Not to mention that they usually move either south of north of the city. Not this time, a huge super cell went straight through Indianapolis. A lot of people that i work with were actually evacuated from work and were driving home in the middle of it.
Also, one of the ladies that i work with lived in this apartment complex and was home when all of this happened. She is okay and is doing fine but pretty much lost everything but some of her clothes.
YEAH NIKON! YEAH BEING 21!!

very impressive tornado or at least what it has left. Your picture just give us the right idea of what the mess it is. When I look at yout picture, I'm glad we don't have tornados in Europ (as far as I know).
