On this day or should i say yesterday 20 yrs ago one of the largest tornado families moved across western Connecticut, I am lucky to be one of those who was in the storm and got to witness first hand the power of an f-4 tornado up close and personal...

Now that im in Kentucky i have yet to see a storm with such power. and on this day 20 yrs later mother nature decided to give me a reminder of the past. Granted it wasn't anything really severe but it did have a bit of rotation to it.
