Reply #18: I live in Lawrence. It woke me up

[Mabus]

Actually the drop in barometric pressure woke me up. The sound of the wind was incredible. It was like a humming sound that just kept building in intensity. My husband went outside to roll up the car windows and a few seconds later he came running back in and said "the wind is coming". He saw the wind coming down the street. And just like a tornado it suddenly stopped. We saw several funnel cloud formations overhead during and afterwards. We spent part of the day helping clear debris. Power was out, there were small fires from downed lines and people were just stunned at the damage.
