Tornado hits my town
    #8499685 - 06/08/08 11:34 AM (15 years, 8 months ago)

I saw all the warning on TV. Then the sirens went off. I don't have a basement to crawl into and I live in an upstairs apartment building. So we just sat quietly in our room, waiting for whatever to happen.  I've lived in Illinois for a couple of years now and have not yet experienced a tornado.
I wasn't scared, hell I was worried one bit. I guess I just knew it wouldn't come our way.

  Finally the sirens went off and all was well. At least at our end of town.

Was it weird that I didn't freak out about this? My whole family was calm, no one cared that a tornado may be coming.

My family always freaks the fuck out when the sirens go off and hide in the basement...I'm not quite so alarmed.  I figure if I see it coming I'll get somewhere low and hide, but there's no reason to spend 2 hours hiding in a dingy basement doing nothing and sitting on a concrete floor.

I live too far away from there to freak out. If it really DID happen, I'd buy a gun.

Yes, there was an earthquake here about a month ago or so.

A fault?

(We've been having earthquakes occur within city limits a couple times a week for several months now)

you've never seen what a tornado can do have you...

I've seen home that were leveled, others where a concrete basement were pulled out of the ground, home that were dropped a mile away,  there was one that hit my area just recently, it took a train off the track and moved it 80 yards

if an f5 hits something, it may or may not survive and that has
nothing to do with it's construction

I admit ignorance.  I still think they would reinforce the prison a little extra over a normal building though, if tornados are a risk.

they can reinforce it all the want, tornadoes are the most
destructive natrual force I'm aware of, imagine wind speeds up to
300mph, now imagine it hurling a military tank int the 18inch
reinforced walls, the wind speed of the one that lifted the train
(130 tons) was only 125mph

When I lived in GA tornado warnings were pretty common, we'd have about 15-20 a year. I've only hid in the basement a handful of times, usually when it starts hailing.

On a separate note, maybe that newspaper just has a bad photographer, but that tornado didn't seem that strong from the pictures. When we'd get tornadoes in GA it would rip entire roofs off houses and throw cars through the sides of buildings.

I was smoking a doob and tripping on acid in my garageone night
with a friend, power was out, it was dark and rainy, I heard a
crash in the back yard, poked my head out the door just in time to
see a 300yo oak tree uprooted and dragged off through some guys house

the neighborhood across the street with the exception of about 10
houses was absolutely desimated, what was cool was it took out or
flattened a dozen or more houses, skipped to the other side of the
street, wiping out a few and then back over to the side it started
on leaving 1 house intact, it looked like a catastrophic game of  pinball
