I drove right next to this tornado on my way to Destin, FL!! :eek: We heard on the radio that there was a severe thunderstorm warning, and that quickly went to a tornado warning while we were driving on I-10! I was in the Holmes and Washington county area the same time the tornado was on the ground, and witnessed some hail, heavy rain, and wind. This was definitely the closest I have ever been to a tornado, and didn't expect it while on vacation! Quite an experience!!
