Growing up in Texas and having family in parts of Tornado Alley I've seen my fair share of tornados and cellars..LOL
when my parents were going through divorce my grandparents had temporary custody of us kids...and damn spring time in the Panhandle of Texas is no fun place to be.
We would be awakened in the middle of the night by my grandmother and have to go and sit in the living room and watch the news...and probably at least once a week we had to go down into the cellar.
One of the last big ones to hit the area you'll see the footage on the discovery channel all fo the time..it's the one where there's this big tornado and they put a circle around an 18 wheeler that's flying around in it....LOL
My family all made it through that but my grandmother was on her way home from a baseball game a cousin had and they had to run into the cold storage of a small 7-11 type store...she had a heart attack.
Another story she tells is the time she was coming back from Fritch and she my grandfather aunt and cousins had to lie in a drainage ditch as a tornado passed nearby...they had to hold the kids down the wind was so strong and they were only like 3 or 4 at the time.
My dad growing up in that area is traumatized...LOL
If you see a cloud in the sky it's freakout time for him.
