It's really spooky to be able to see and hear a tornado from the distance we were able too. Less than a mile away from what I figured. I do have to say, no, it did not sound like a train. I want to say thanks to the folks who let us stop and take shelter in their house. Gavyn had fun playing with their two girls and excited lab. I also want to add that, again, I'm sorry for accidentally kicking your cat as we all hurried inside. I don't think she was hurt by any means.
