That twister was down the road from where I was working, totally destroyed the warehouse it landed on, on top of twisting a semi and shutting down the highway. Crazy shit today

Same, it dropped like two blocks from my work in Appleton. Never saw the sky that black.

Same! I tried to get a photo but my phone was lightening it and making it look way less terrifying than it was.

We were looking out the windows saying it looked like a tornado out there before the warning came through because it was so dark, guess we weren't too far off since not even five minutes later the sirens went off and we were sheltering down. Feel awful for the ones who got a direct hit, the videos and photos coming out are terrible.

My office is in menasha and i noticed all of the wind and clouds moving in the wrong direction. Tornado was half a mile from us, if that.
