Tornado rips thru our arena, other businesses.

Our 11,000 seat arena was f*cked up pretty good by a tornado yesterday. 4-5 other businesses gone as well including a casino and laundromat. How there were no fatalities, I'll never know...My house is probably 1.5 miles from "ground zero". My office is about a 1/2 mile from there, just down Main St.

2.24 inches of rain w/ hail, all in about 1 1/4-1 1/2 hours.

Too many pics to post but if ya want to look, here's the link.

Titan fan, thanks. 1st tornado in the city limits since '52. Needless to say, I wasn't around for that one. The arena was an outdated POS but ya still hate to see things like this.

Also, regarding the Titans, Fishers son played for the Montana Grizzlies. And you just drafted, and recently signed, our record breaking WR, Mark Mariani. He was a stud at the FCS level, we're all hoping he can play at the NFL level. He's a great kid who will give his all. He was a walk-on at Montana. He was a 2-time state champ in TENNIS.

walk, no shit...I'd be screaming like a little girl and driving away from it as fast as I can. Yes, we're lucky everyone is ok--thanks to you too.

I seen on the news last night that the casino that was destroyed had some peeps in it. They all huddled in a hall-way. The air was sucked out and they had a tough time breathing until the windows got blown out. Now that's scary!
