My wife, daughter, cat and I ran into the closet cause the winds were really loud and fast! My cell service was out and my power was knocked out atleast 3 times but came back on right away! Other than that, everything is fine...

they were really weak tornado's. we usually don't get REALLY bad weather anymore. that was unusual. most stuff dies out in our desert dry air.
