Tornado

A photo I took in the Texas Panhandle (1977). We were on our way to California and had to stop at a gas station due to blinding hail. A few families joined us in the flat-roofed metal building. When we heard a roar and saw the tornado headed straight for us. A fellow traveler strongly suggested we abandon the building and drive as fast as possible out of the area. The funnel was coming at a right angle to the highway. A caravan of about five cars drove 90 miles an hour out of the path of the tornado. Weather experts dont recommend driving during imminent tornadic activity, but in this case the quick decision saved our lives. We learned many buildings had been leveled including the one we left behind. I snapped this photo before hopping into our exiting car.

that's an amazing story, how scary that must have been, but cool to have a photo of it! really like the newsprint and strong lines in the background!
 
What a story. APP Patriarch adds the perfect amount of drama to your magnificent design.
 
Wow, what a terrible experience. Good advice I think to leave a tornado behind when you're traveling. That's got to be scary!
 
what a story as others have said! My DH too would have taken a photo before driving away! So glad you all made a safe get way! love the framing and colors are perfect - amazing page!
 
Woah! What an experience. I'm thankful for your quick thinking. I love the black horizontal stripes.
 
what a story ... thank goodness you made the right decision to drive away ...
 
What a story so worthy of being scrapped. Love how the transfer looks a bit like a tornado with debris.
 
Geez Louise! What a story! I find tornados terrifying...this layout is goose-bumpy! I love how those looming black slashes across the page go with the photo--very ominous.
