Someone Grab Toto !!!!

Here are some photos from the storm last night taken at the new TD Ameritrade Park where they are holding the College World Series here in my hometown, Omaha, Nebraska. Is this not crazy scary? Fortunately, we only received high winds and really heavy rains, and no tornadoes were spotted, but boy the conditions sure were perfect for a tornado to develop!
