My first tornado when I was living in Kansas for a spell distroyed a large chunk of oklahoma city in May 1999. I was caring for 3 children as a nanny -- the daytime nanny's house across town was totally demolished by a gigantic tree (with no basement to retreat to).
Being that I am from California, my disaster training is mainly for earthquakes and floods. Definately one of the scariest things I've ever experienced. Especially with a 11 year old walking me through preparing the house to be hit. Houses swallowed whole then spit out as a scattered mess blocks and sometimes miles down the way.

I was about 2 miles from a touchdown, baseball sized hail was falling, the sky was black, and there was the rumbling, like nothing else i have ever heard. I drove though the path after the fact, there was large debris on the interstate in the trees, overturned cars and exploded buildings. That's as close as i hope i ever get to a tornado, pure destruction.

I have always had this burning desire to see a tornado in person. Hopefully one that's not killing anyone and is just out in the country somewhere, but damn, to see that kind of power in person... it would be incredible.
Part of me looks at these videos and thinks that the people filming them are nuts, and part of me things "those lucky bastards."

I've never actually seen a tornado, but I was close enough for the sky to go black, heard the immense sound and watched baseball sized hail coming down. Drove through the debris field on the way home, all over the highway and in the trees. I was two exits from the tornado when it hit. That storm cell traveled from Kansas all the way to Tennessee with dozens of tornadoes.

Rarely as bad as this in 1 shot. I guess it was a mile wide storm, the finger of god, and like 100 smaller ones. Rarely ever happens even close to this scale.
