My daughter, who lives in Vancouver, WA; called to tell me she heard about the warning, then saw the tornado at 12:20pm. It was in the HazelDell area. The power went out at her place of employment but was back on by the time she called (1pm).
She was able to see it in the "distance" from an office window. I guess I didn't do a very good job of teaching her though .. she should have snapped a picture of it to share. Yes weather creates a lot of excitement (and danger).
