Ever seen a tornado?

I have experienced a major earthquake but never a tornado, hurricane, tsunami, snowstorm, or dirty thunderstorm. Tornado's look so ominous to me. It gives me this certain feeling inside. I can definitely see how people can manifest a god character after seeing something such as a tornado.

I had the experience of being in a 24hr diner and watching a tornado rip and twist a tall sign out of the ground, took the roof off a building and hit the restaurant I was in, luckily it only knocked out power and peeled the bricks off the back, maybe a week later I was at home with a roomie, in the garage smoking a joint, the door was open and we heard trees dropping behind the house, it took off the chimney cap and touched ground again right across the street and uprooted a huge oak tree, it bounced a couple of times, hit a few houses and then ripped a neighborhood my GF lived in a new one.... took out about 60 of the 90 homes
IMO, tornadoes are worse than hurricanes because tornadoes are unpredictable

Yea, but I don't remember it. WHen I was born, a tornado ripped through the trailer park we lived at in Omaha, it destroyed the trailers on each side of us. I also saw one 2 years ago, in Cinncinnati, there were sirens going off, and when I looked out in the distance there were two funnel clouds hanging out of a thunderstorm cloud, about 2 miles away, they were halfway to the ground.

we get them frequently near me, seems this town is tornado resistant though because they hit all around us but never hit the town, when I first moved out here one hit the neighboring county in alabama and did more than $600 million in improvements

We get em every once in a while. I live in a good sized valley. A few years ago a tornado came through here. It fucked up 2 houses on one side of the valley. Then it hit 2 more houses on the other side of the valley.
I think it jumped over us cause mah house is in line between those 4 houses.

what's fucked is that they tell you to find some place in the house to get away from windows ans shit, it doesnt make a difference when the tornado rips your house apart, there really is no hiding from a tornato unless you're under ground

this is a common site just over the state line

Is that a storm bunker, the school bus? I remember in Okinawa I was in a Typhoon, they showed us a pic of a tree after that, a piece of corrugated steel from a roof had sliced almost all the way through a huge tree.

That's a damn good idea with the school bus , shit, I would live in something like that haha.....
I've been fascinated by weather since I was a little kid...Any sort of extreme weather gets me all sorts of stoked. Though they do cause damage and can be deadly, I'm envious of those of you that get intense thunderstorms. Unfortunately for me, where I live in California we only get a few thunderstorms a year and even more uncommon do they turn severe. Definitely not comparable to what ya'll have in the mid west, but some do turn severe and we actually had 4 tornadoes last month (Strongest was only an F2).
Witnessing a tornado and experiencing the wrath of a super cell is on my "to do list" before I die....It's going to happen

insurance here runs about $700/year but that covers anything including flooding which will never happen since I'm on a mountain top, but because of Al Gore's claim that the polar ice caps will melt I'm not taking any chances
