Seen a few traveling in tornado alley. They scare the shit out of me. I would take a hurricane over a tornado any day. There isn't much of a warning when a tornado touches down to get out of it's path and they are very loud.
Seen several. Was in one canoeing a river when it came thru. Tore roof off of nearby school and trees down everywhere. Camping another time and all hell broke lose. Hit about 8 miles from where we were camping. Tents blown 200-300 yards away
I have never seen one but my grandparents always told me about how they watched their roof get taken off by the famous 1975 Xenia oh tornado. That happened when I was 10 and have always been scared of them since.
Yes, about 4 blocks away, didn't look too wide.........it took off part of the malls roof & uprooted trees..........first time I ever heard that emergency siren too.
There was supposed to be one in DC/VA area today but not sure if anything happened. I was in the office all night so didn't really hear if it materialized
I've seen 3 of them close up. Two tornadoes came within a half a mile of my home. And the third one I saw coming before it hit and destroyed part of the building where I used to work. Luckily we had a shelter...There isn't a whole lot of people in Oklahoma who hasn't seen one. Afterall it's tornado alley...
