Extremestunts in trouble

Stuck in building. Power line blocking exit. It's crazy our office secretary's car-she almost died! If it wasn't for co-worker telling her to stay in. Maybe not but the lines have fubared her car. I wonder if I can post pic of downed poll & lines on car and building from cell phone?

We are stuck.

Another one?  Proof God is not a K-State fan.

Seriously, there's like no clouds in the area.  How unlucky do you have to be to get tornadoed by this little storm?

SIGNIFICANT STORM DAMAGE AT K-STATE DUE TO WIND AND MICROBURST

MANHATTAN -- A late afternoon storm with damaging winds caused significant losses to trees and some damage to buildings on the Kansas State University campus.

K-State police Capt. Don Stubbings estimated that the tree damage near Anderson and Eisenhower Halls was nearly as bad as that of the 2007 tornado.

"The damage in that small area resulted in tree loss similar to what we experienced on campus a few years ago due to the tornado," Stubbings said.

Anderson Hall also sustained roof damage, Stubbings said. No estimates of cost damage are available at this time.




 :surprised: my apartment's near there :surprised:

I seriously thought this thing was in the parking long of my apartment. It was so freaking loud. I was just waiting for the train noise.

Worst part is that I'm on the top floor so I was sprinting downstairs trying to take cover. Pretty entertaining in retrospect.

Maybe it has something to do with the number of Iranians that have received their nuclear engineering degrees from KSU that are now doing Allah's work. :dunno:
