I remember it well, it's how I found Acccuwx in 2010, found a few forums with threads following the days events.
I'm not saying it can't happen, just how it usually pans out. I'll pass on another 3/12/06 though. Was about 200 yds off the northern edge of the path of the first(main) tornado. Was outside trying to get some lightening pics listening to Gus Gordon(local met at the time) talk about a confirmed tornado less than 1/4 mile from me headed towards me
Finally let out an audible shriek as winds got into the probable 90mph range, back sliding glass door was a straight shot from front door. Seen the power flash as the weatherhead was ripped down. Was under a blizzard warning before power was restored
Definitely got lucky on that one and one of the reasons I tend to hope for but not get overly disappointed when strong storms are forecast. Never know when "that one" is going to actually happen.
