I don't know if any of you heard about the tornados down here in Iowa today (link (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,175396,00.html)),but tailgating when the tornado sirens go off gets real interesting very quickly.
I had been tailgating since about noon and we knew the weather wasn't looking too hot from people watching the radar on their cell phones all afternoon. Shortly after 5PM the cops started coming through telling people to seek shelter immediately so people started scattering. Most people, including myself, had to think fast as to where to go because we had been drinking all day so driving wasn't an option. Luckily the ISU College of Vet Med was about 300 yards away so we were all able to run in there for shelter. Fortunately for us the storm went North of where we were at but not so lucky for the North side of Ames. My roommate saw 4 funnel clouds when he was driving around along with some damaged property.
Oh yeah, for those of you who didn't catch the score or watch the game, the Cyclones kicked the Buffaloes' asses today. :D
