This afternoon the weather cooled off and although it looked like rain was inevitable we decided to go to the zoo for a little bit. We ended up hearing the tornado sirens three times and later heard from the zoo workers that a tornado touched down in Plainfield, IN and one was spotted not far from the zoo in Speedway. That concerned us a little bit, but the zoo workers assured us that they'd take us to safety if the situation became serious. So the kids kept playing like nothing was wrong and we enjoyed the nice cool weather and the sparse crowds at the zoo. We were never told to seek shelter and luckily survived the day. It was definitely the closest we've ever been to a tornado, but we are grateful that we were all safe.
I guess we've been in Indiana long enough to not let those tornado sirens scare us too much. :)
This was damage to a house in Plainfield.
