WOW!!!! Power of a Tornado

Years ago my whole family rushed into the root celler because a tornado was coming. My mom was really upset because
she didn't want to lose the house. As it turned out, we lost the chicken coop and most of the chickens as well as the woodshed
and the cow barn. The main barn and the house were fine.

It just shows how powerful mother nature can really be. People like to think they have so much power, but coming across something like this, it just shows where the truly awe-inspiring power really is! Yikes!

The sight of those tractor trailers flying hundreds of feet up convinced me that i really like where i live!
We have plenty of tornadoes around here every year, but very few of that magnitude...last F5 around here was 5 years ago...one hell of a mess...

I came close to being caught in a tornado while working on a hospital roof a lot of years back...luckily there was a river behind the hospital and the tornado switched direction when it hit the water...we were trying to get the tarps secured in the wind before we actually saw what it was and before we knew it, the whole thing was over...
It wasn't a very powerful one, but still could have been ugly for me and my crew...

I was a kid when a massive tornado went through downtown Woodstock, we lived about an hour away from there. I got really freaked out whenever we had a thunder storm, ready to make a mad dash into the basement. I still get really unnerved when one hits around here or when there are warnings. Never actually lived through one though, for which I'm grateful! The last one that ripped through Goderich last year was close enough for me.8O

I can imagine. Our farm was near Weyburn Sask. where we watched several grain elevators get turned into kindling wood.

Weyburn gets some wicked storms.
Well when I lived in Arlington, TX we had sirens, and Doppler Radar. Basically, every time we had a bad storm with circulation in the clouds, hail, the sirens would blast..

testing sirens..
What I could never figure out about Texas, was.. the safest place in a storm is your basement, but the majority of homes built in Texas are slab-on-grade. No Basement.
If I lived in Tornado alley and built a home, it would have a tunnel into a safe area deep within the bowels of the earth.
