From beginning to end, and EF3 tornado hits my home. 

Approximately 30 minutes before the tornado hit, I got a smart phone alert from the weather service, indicating that my home is in the path of an oncoming tornado, and to prepare. Five minutes before the tornado hit, I got another alert, telling me to take immediate cover. I I've been through several hurricanes, however, none affected my home as did this tornado. It was truly a scary experience.
