This tornado in Buffalo will be one I will never forget! I was on my way home sitting in front of Woods supermarket when I watched in horror as it ripped the Antique store and gas station to pieces. My wife was 200yds to the north in her school bus turning onto 65 just seconds after it happened. I thank God no one was seriously injured
