There is CRAZY lightening here. It's scary.
ETA Funnel clouds in Worcester!
Some places are reporting collapsed buildings, but the news hasn't been able to confirm with photos. But I guess these are legit tornados. Local news seems to think they are calming down? Eek.

Can you tell I'm home alone and DS is napping? Haha

You guys, if I kill my mother, it's justifiable homicide, right? My family and friends appear to have gotten through the first tornado ok (apparently, it went right down my friend's street), but my brother just got to her house (he stopped on his way from work), and she's not there, and another effing tornado touched down over there. And the lines are jammed, so we can't get through to her on her cell phone. She left the dog, so I'm betting she thought it was clear. She wouldn't have left the dog if she thought something was wrong.
I'm going to kill her. Seriously.
Apparently, my mother went to church, because it's a holy day. So yeah. Still going to kill her. She's stuck there, I assume, because she hasn't come home yet.
Just talked to my brother, (who is now stuck at our mother's house), and his girlfriend is hunkered down in the basement at their house, because the cloud just touched down a mile from their house.
I'm a freaking wreck, you guys. Seriously. What the h*ll, Mother Nature?

Thanks, guys. I just talked to her, my brother, and my grandfather, and everyone is ok. Still waiting to hear from friends, but I'm hoping they're all ok, too. The news had me a bit hysterical for a while there.
The first tornado took the exact route my mom had driven home not twenty minutes earlier. I seriously couldn't stop shaking when I heard that.The news actually mentioned a bunch of people stuck in churches!
Yeah, I was not amused. Especially when she told me that she went UP to the choir loft. I just yelled at her about being a complete donkey at that point, though I was probably incoherent, what with all the rage and relief.
Hope everyone here is ok!
this is insane!!!! I was one of the people who didn't take it 100% seriously. my friend called to tell me that MA st police had been calling family to get them in basements, and I was out shopping!
the skies are looking like strobe lights in Ashland, and my poor pup is refusing to be more than 1 inch from me!
i hope everyone and their families are safe and sound.
BTW...there was a large tornado to touch down in Worcester like 50 years ago
[ GO BRUINS! ]
Ditto this but I was in the basement with my gsd in hopkinton. The amount of lighting was insane.
Thanks all! I just talked to my mom, and she said they didn't even lose power where she is. But about a half-mile away is totally wrecked. The pictures are crazy. My high school was in pieces - the roof got torn off, one of the walls collapsed, and the windows got blown out.
I have several friends who are police officers in Springfield, and I know a few of the firefighters/EMTs as well. They've been on-duty since last night, and lord only knows when they will be able to get home. So please keep them in your thoughts today.
