Wind storms...

Yesterday night, Bilbao went on Red Alert for wind storms. I went out on the roof last night (as did a lot of guys) and was surprised at how strong the wind truly was. Pretty powerful - nothing like Illinois. There was no rain and the night was clear. But before I knew there was a windstorm going on, I was in the computer lab chatting away and had headphones in my ears. I could hear people screaming and moving about - but it's a dorm so I figured there was a futból game on or something. Eventually I got bored on the computer and when to my dorm room where my roommate excitedly told me that I missed a tornado! It was tiny but it had a funnel and it moved some cars (no real damage though) and it went right by our dorm. That's when I realized everyone was watching the twister. Interesting. Elsewhere, 3 children were killed as a roof caved in due to winds.
