While I have not heard of any tornado touchdowns in recent days in Orange County (please let us know if you did, though), Jim and Vera Shanley of Secondwind Farm, located off of St. Mary's Road, sent us the image to the left taken Wednesday night.Having grown up in Nashville, Tenn., which seemed to become Tornado Alley in the late 1990s (I remember my father's ninth-floor office window was blown out when a particularly bad one came through downtown Nashville in 1997), I can say from experience these are not welcome sights.
A town where I worked previously, Martinsville, Indiana, apparently is 142 percent more prone to tornadoes then the rest of the United States. It got hit by one bad tornado in 2008 (and a flood that covered much of the city) and a really, really bad one in 2002.
Anyways, you can send us storm photos at editorial@newsoforange.com.
