SLIDE SHOW: Tornado hits San Antonio’s West Side

Last night I recorded the storm just as it began from my kitchen.  I was intrigued by the coincidence that I had just gone to see Tornado Alley at the IMAX on Friday with the students not knowing whether they would like weather.  Everyone seemed to enjoy the movie being that it was a huge screen and the 3D footage of tornados was breathtaking. What seemed so unlikely in San Antonio, due to the severe dry conditions we have experienced lately, is that we had a storm cell of our own produce a tornado that caused significant damage just a day later.  I send my thoughts to those affected by the storm.  The tornado was rated an EF0 borderline EF1, but even stil produced high enough winds to cause major damage.  As I watched the storm from my kitchen and listened to the raspy voice of Tony, I was thankful to see the beautiful water fall from the sky and nourish the depleted land that needed it so much.  But, when I woke and saw the news of what happened just miles away, I realized that sometimes even things that everyone agrees is good comes at a price that does not always seem fair.  It is interesting how life unfolds and gives you lessons that just so happen to correspond with an IMAX movie.
