    I suggest you move. You're smack in the middle of tornado alley.

        Glad to hear you made it through OK nap. Been watching the news all night. Crazy ass shit we are experiencing. Two major tornadoes within 20 miles in 36 hours. Plus they say that tomorrow we should have the same kind of conditions we had today and yesterday.
        I looked at the tornado damage here in Moore today. Pretty bad.
        Can't wait to see what is revealed when the sun comes up. The tornado came thru here about 4 hours ago and it is STILL on the ground passing just south of Tulsa.

              We have actually had a pretty decent april. I'm not used to this, i'm from Tulsa, so the most we usually get are tornado warnings. The entire time i was grew up in Tulsa I had only seen one funnel cloud, and it was so far away that everyone was just standing around watching. I go off to college, get an apartment and this is what I move to. Real Tornados. I can't believe that a tornado actually touched down, stayed on the ground and knocked over something. "The calm before the storm" has an entire new meaning for me. After hearing the sirens for about 15 minutes non stopped(all the while hearing rumbling in the background) the hail and rain just stop. Wind stops completely and you begin to feel a breeze. I actually opened up my door and started to look. It almost look like the clouds were disappating(this a word?) All of a sudden shit justs starts to shake, still calm, no rain. I was just sitting here waiting for it to get closer. I was just sitting in my broken down lazy boy waiting. To make matters worst, complete darkness. The only light was from flashes of lighting. That had to be the longest 90 minutes of my life.

                    Know exactly what you mean.

                    I returned home on a sunny beautiful day, next thing I know sirens are going off, the sky turns green, then black, then shit starts falling in front of my window from behind the building.

                    I grabbed the pooch and headed for the stairwell, pretty crazy shit when that thing hit.

                    BTW it was the Fort Worth Tornado



                    My building is on the right side about 3 o'clock in the direct path of the tornado.




                    This is the bank one building that was 2 blocks from my building, when I came outside after it hit, it was pitch dark. All that you could see was every emergency light flickering on every floor of that building. It was surreal, it was like a huge fucking disco going off.




                    The cash america building. This is about 4 or 5 blocks west of my building.

                    This building looks over the Trinity River. The tornado crossed the river, hit this building then moved up hit mine, then the Bank 1 building.

                    Fuck that shit...all we have to worry about here in Vegas is losing money in the casinos ;) Oh and they have mean floods here too ;)

                                in del city oklahoma which caused winds of up to 250 mph.

                                  I say it and I have been in the middle of one. Destroyed my next door neighbors house and bent my screen door when I opened it to look. I was pulling as hard as I could to shut it and the wind against it bent the hell out of it. Then it just stopped, door slammed I was pulling so hard. FUCKING AWESOME!

                                      Mishi, I live in Oklahoma City but work for Lightspeed who is in Phoenix.
                                      I think I may be moving to Phoenix soon though. The sooner the better! I'll trade an extra 10 degrees of heat in the summer for no tornadoes.

                                        In Oklahoma City and the suburbs we have had 2 major tornadoes within 36 that tracked across metro areas and destroyed hundreds of houses and damaged thousands more and then continued on for hours into rural areas.
                                        Not one person was killed by either tornado.
                                        How is that for Amazing?
                                        People in Oklahoma have had enough practice in the past and the tornado forecasting technology and expertise has gotten so good that in both tornadoes people had up to an hour of warning.
                                        Looks like it all paid off. If this had been 50 years ago there would be hundreds who would have been struck without warning and probably died.
                                        Simply Amazing.

                                          I've never seen a tornado or experienced one and by what I see on TV I don't want to either. Those things are scary as hell.

                                              I say it and I have been in the middle of one. Destroyed my next door neighbors house and bent my screen door when I opened it to look. I was pulling as hard as I could to shut it and the wind against it bent the hell out of it. Then it just stopped, door slammed I was pulling so hard. FUCKING AWESOME!
                                              The ones you worry about are the 1/4 mile wide F5's that leave nothing but the foundation. No holding the screen door closed on those!


                                              I would love to be a storm chaser.

                                                I used to think it would be cool to see a tornado as well until one went through my back yard. About 100 yards from my back porch there is a valley that runs to the lake at the end of the street that used to be filled with trees. The tornado wiped them all out. Thankfully, it didn't hit a single house on our street but the amount of debris it tossed out was incredible. I was out mowing the grass and saw it coming. Talk about something that scares the shit of you. You know there is nothing you can do to stop it. Other than hope it doesn't hit your house and take away everything you own that's about all you can do.

                                                      I sat outside all night waiting for some bags full of money to land in my yard but all I got was insulation and shit

                                                        Have you ever considered a career in the military? If you think a little wind is exciting, you should experience combat.
