i was in school and i had some sketches back at my apartment that i wanted to get. the weather was crazy. tornado warnings etc. i got tired of waiting and decided to make a go of it since my apartment was only a mile or so away. sure enough about 1/2 way there i watched the sky turn from gray to brown (from dirt being pulled up from the ground). the trees were blowing sideways. sand and dust were blowing like crazy. i turned the car around and hauled ass back to school. i had trouble pressing the gas pedal because my foot was jumping so bad. scared the shit out of me. by the time i got back to school the wind had stopped and the radio said that a tornado was on the ground in the next town over.

happened to my mother too when she was a kid. i guess they were standing on the front stoop of their farmhouse and their dad (my grandpa) came running in from the field. she said as he grabbed her over his shoulder she could see a twister coming. grandma threw some palm leaves into the stove and they ran for the cellar.
the tornado jumped their house, landed a half mile on the other side and wiped out a few farms.
their home wasn't touched.
strange thing hearing that story from my mother the next day while we were helping the neighbor clean up, especially when she told me before she ran downstairs she threw a palm leaf on top of the pilot light in the stove.

My dad was in a chickenhouse once and the roof got sucked off by a tornado. He held on for dear life and his legs were like up in the air. He said that all the chickens got sucked out and it looked like a big white ribbon stretching into the sky.
Related story - my aunt and uncle live on the gulf of mexico and their house was the only house not destroyed by a hurricane that hit them - they were miraculously in the eye. Coincidentally, that same uncle is a "hurricane hunter" and flies helicopters into them.

we've been lucky, tornados are spotted regularly during the season in our area, they just rarely touch down.
they usually touch down in trailer parks.
