Re: OT: Tornadoes in North Carolina
From: Darren Addy This is pretty crazy local news coverage of a rain-wrapped tornado coming almost directly at the camera: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srwtn-Zjv_E You can see power flashes as the embedded tornado shorts-out transformers on power poles. The building where the camera is located is about 8 blocks south of my house. The 4 lane road right in the center of the video is South Saunders St. Shaw University is just a little to the left of the BB&T building shown in the video. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: OT: Tornadoes in North Carolina
John - From the New York Times... "There were 92 tornadoes reported across North Carolina on Saturday night. At least 14 people were killed and 50 seriously injured in Bertie, N.C., according to state officials. Major avenues in downtown Raleigh were blocked by fallen trees. A Lowe’s store, in Lee County, above, was damaged extensively." http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/04/17/us/tornado.html -p On 4/17/2011 9:44 PM, John Sessoms wrote: One of them apparently was fairly near my house.
