Anyway, I'm am on vacation in Wisconsin now (I actually live in Maryland). We've had a tornado warning every day so far. It sucks .

I've seen it quite a few times. Great movie.

I live in tornado alley but I have never had a direct experience with a tornado.

I am happy for that, because I am very scared of them.

I have been through countless tornado warnings, a few this year, and nothing has ever happened. The worst weather we've had here was that ice storm of last December. XD It caused the most damage.

ive never had any real Tornado experience other than seeing the beginning of a funnel cloud... but nothing came of it. I live in Connecticut, so we don't really get them. Very rare. We did have a watch for one the other night.

i aint been near one, but would love too, but now i remember, in this small seaside town i used too live in there was a small tornado, in the outskirts, but it was years ago.

Apparently a year or two ago there was a tornado in the town next to me, but I don't think it actually happened. One almost formed I think. It's extremely rare here, I've never even heard of a tornado anywhere near here (I live in New Jersey.)

Yeah, here in Wisconsin we have had many tornado warnings through out the summer so far (just a couple weeks into summer vacation). I remember one time when I was in grade school we had a tornado warning that actually turned into a tornado. We ended up staying in school for another hour or two.

You know what? Here in Colorado if there's a tornado, it's always WAAAAY south in Colorado Springs. One tornado warning was held near my town until 7:15 PM. But there was never any touchdown. This kinda reminds some people not to watch the episode of Courage where a tornado reverses Muriel's age... huh?

I haven't seen the actual tornado, but I have seen the storms that produce them.

Day: Last Friday of my 8th Grade year.
Where: School
When: 2:00 PM
Sky: Black literally black, not a deep blue or deep purple, black.

Day: I forget
Where: My house
When: 8:00 PM
Sky: Extremely deep purple.

Don't forget, the clouds would be moving at a maximum speed of 19 mph or something. They would be forming into the shape of a funnel. The air would be 100% still, and (if you had a pet) your pets and/or the animals outside would be stiff and not making a single noise. Oh, that, and plus your house is being pelted with two hours of rain or 30 seconds of hail. After THAT, the trees and animals would be stiff. The hail and rain was at my house...but NOOOOOO tornadoes.

Major thread necromancy. :/ Ick.

Also, tornadoes are huge wusses. The easiest way to get one to go away is to just stand in front of it and hurl insults in its direction. After a while, it can't take the abuse and will leave the area to avoid a confrontation.

No. Wrong. Tornadoes don't work that way. You can't even TRY to prove it even if you can! Besides, that's too dangerous. It would still just pick you up, and reverse your age about 70 years.

You could say that I am in tornado alley but my town has been so lucky compared to a town in Iowa called Parkersburg well I have stoped there before a this gas station on the way to my grandma but the gas station is gone along with the entire south side of the town. So here are some pictures of the F5 tornado that went through there.

and there is plenty more just google parkersburg tornado

I've never actually witnessed a tornado, but just this summer before I left PA, we had an actual tornado warning at my grandma's trailer in the campground she keeps it in. Boy, I was so scared, I was crying. There's nowhere safe in a campground when there's a tornado. We all went to the bath houses to seek shelter, but I knew not even those would be safe enough. Luckily, no tornado occured.

Thread necromancy.

Kill.
