Been a long time since I've been in a Tornado...
 

Sitting in the basement of a friends in suburbs of Illinois.

Pool party turned into a run for shelter party when the Tornado sirens started going off in every direction.

Been a long time since I was in a tornado - we have 40 more minutes to go per the TV Weather alert. :(

-but the wireless still works down here ! :thumbsup

and your weather story?

be safe :)

Rainy but not stormy here, fine by me!

so true.

I am more used to earthquakes in California than Tornados in the midwest.

I'm so grateful the weather in AZ is dull. I will take hot and dull any day. Be safe Lori.

Just seen the movie tornado speaking of it crazy stuff thanks God i live in NY

I live in the heartland .. we get tons every year.

i see tornados all the time

Tornados are scary..

Three inches of rain in less than 20 minutes in Madison.I lost one large branch off a tree.

Never any exciting weather stories to tell here.

We get rain, and lots of it. Although the past few weeks we've had sun, and lots of it.

I actually prefer the rain to this exteme heat...

The only time I was "in" a tornado, I missed it. Our neighbors were round to dinner, we didn't have the TV on and we hadn't heard the sirens. There was a noise like an express train which lasted a few minutes and we went outside to see one of our trees blown over and our roof and yard covered in debris.

The debris turned out to be a store from about 150 feet away which had been completely ripped off its concrete lot and torn to pieces. We didn't learn that or about the F3 tornado which had come through the center of town until a while later.

Take care mate.

I'm terrified of tornadoes, but I love the excitement.

Glad you were safe. Take care. Fine weather here, so far.

damn, im close and didn't know any tornados or anything were in the area, haha

i'm 90 miles north west of madison in Iowa

hey lori, do you work for paymonde?

Well the Tornado has moved away and we have emerged from the basement to pour another cocktail and slow down our heart rate .

Not so fun, the excitement factor wasn't so great.


as far as working for Paymonde, I do some marketing for them

Last year a tornado just missed us, and tore right through a damn trailer park on the other side of the interstate about a mile away. Killed 20 people or so there. It stayed on the ground for a couple miles and damaged about 500 houses.

we are NOT in kansas anymore...

never experienced Tornado or Some El nino, but i live among volcanos - will not surprise if will have to tell you about this experence in a time.

tornados are amazing experiences... i live in a very active tornado area i see them all the time

me and my dad used to put on rain suits and sit out in the yard and watch tornados


a few times when we were farming we were in the barn milking the cows when a tornado ripped through and tossed one of our silos ontop of an old work truck right next to the barn

another time we sat in the yard and watched a tornado rip through the town demolitioning everything in its path
