Have you ever been in a tornado?

[Ric flair]

If you have been in a tornado, do the poll up there. Tell what kind of tornados have touched your area. Post a picture if you want.
Heres a big bad one, that hit us last summer.

Where I live, we can't get tornadoes because of the mountains. :)

[Pen Rua]

Thanks to god, I have never been near a tornado before. My area has never been hit by a tornado.

[puppygirl93]

and last year a f1 hit us

we had an f5 chase me and my dad once

you know there's an edit button

I haven't been in one yet.

[Ric flair]

Don't double post, I got hit by an F5 and It was scary. A huge weird dark cloud.

[puppygirl93]

(the may 3 1999 one) it was so scary! we had to get in a ditch

it looked more like a blob than a tornado

when I was in toronto we had a f0 twister

not to mention the greensburg one.

after that one we left the US

[Ric flair]

That one was amazing, I have been on a storm chase before. 5 Times. They were manitoba,canada tornadoes.

I couldn't agree more. I have empathy for you

[kogeck]

I have a body of water surrounding me on all sides, so tornadoes usually don't form around Long Island.

[Ric flair]

Tornadoes can be creepy.
Story: One tornado picked up a baby crib and it floated 50 ft in the air and set it within 5 miles without waking the baby.

[NickyPenny]

I have never been in one and I have only seen 2 tornado warnings in my area.

[maddiexoxo]

There has been a cuple of light ones but im glad theyre not severe and we never experienced it here

on the montel williams show there was this lady and her daughter that had been driving in a tornado and they got lifted in the air by it the car was badly damaged but they faced minor injuries

(hope they had car insurance:))

[Oceanside344]

Not sure what type it was, so I just put F1 because it wasn't severe, the winds weren't overly bad, and it did little to no damage.

But ya, a few years ago on May 24th, a severe thunderstorm hit. There were 5 funnel clouds that I saw through my front window, and the only one that touched ground was thankfully in the river valley just outside of town. Stupid prairies and their thunderstorms and weather and stuff..

[Slip265]

I've never been in one. I'm lucky.

[TheHuskerDu]

I live in Kansas and surprisingly I've never been in one. I've definitely had tornado watches.

[Ziek]

Lot's of tornado watches/warnings, but we have never had one. We usually get hurricanes, not tornadoes.

[Chandru]

I have never been in a tornado, saying that I live in California. There's no option that says "No Tornado".

[Ric flair]

I've been in 6 my whole life.
F1-2
F2-0
F3-1
F4-2
F5-1

I guess your power supply remained intact then? (somehow)

I live in England, we don't get them, an dif we do, they are rare and usually very small.

[Ric flair]

Well I had to have my kitchen built 3 times. But now it's better. We have the money to buy the replacement 10 times.

How was it like being in that tornado. That is pretty scary, because tornadoes are very dangerous.

[Ric flair]

Horrible wind gusts and tree's ripping and lighting flashing and hail as big as a golf ball. That one was very bad. Not as bad as an average kansas tornado. Ohio has rarely tornadoes. Yet powerful ones

[neo789]

Never have.But i have been in Hurricanes when i was a baby.

[Dopeh Ladiee]

I don't live in an area where tornadoes hi. I am surrounded by water pretty much. I usually get nothing like that oit here. No hurricanes, no earthquakes, no tornadoes.

[Bad Boy]

There are no natural disasters where I live, so no I have never experience a tornado or anything other disasters. I'd love to know what it feels like.

[peguin21795]

We live in the mountains, but once while driving on 1-80 in Iowa, there was this big wedge tornado at night. We could see it it visible due to lightning. All the cars parked onto the side. After 5 minutes, the wind and rain was gone.

When we got to a hotel in Omaha, the weatherguy said there was a strong f-3 tornado near I-80. It scared the nuts out of me

[walmartshrty]

Ha ha, I've been in many hurricanes.

Does that count? :P

[Snoopy4life]

I think we had a F0 this summer.

[Foosa805]

I don't know what type, but I have been in one before.

[maddiexoxo]

Ive never had a tornado at least one that i can remember im glad

ive never been in one it aint something to be proud of.

[kogeck]

I don't get tornadoes, thankfully, where I live. But when I went to Colorado, I saw a tornado shaped like a funnel headed to our hotel. They didn't evacuate us, but the power did go out.

[maddiexoxo]

i never seen a tornado because there are none tornados in canada ontario so what ever happens be safe

[KingKitty]

i've seen a waterspout before when i was at the beach if that counts.

[connora]

Nope! I've never lived in a place where Tornadoes happen.

However, I have been through a minor hurricane...

[Pengumaniac4]

No, I have never been in a hurricane before.
Where i live theres lots of mountains, So yeah i don't think there will be a hurricane here soon.

[biodue123]

thankfully, i have never been hit by a tornado or seen one :) but, i have seen funnel clouds, and i saw 3 dust devils at once combine that where like 40feet tall :O

[Snazzy]

No, I have never been in a tornado. But a couple days ago a tornado hit in NJ [where I live] and NYC. But thankfully it didn't hit my town.

[NickyPenny]

No, I have never been in a tornado. But a couple days ago a tornado hit in NJ [where I live] and NYC. But thankfully it didn't hit my town.

There was a tornado in NYC!? Hopefully it wasn't major because all the building would be nailed.

[Basketcase1]

Nope. But even if I was, I'd know exactly what to do, after all, reading helps you in many ways.

[PC Lizard]

I live in England, we don't get them, an dif we do, they are rare and usually very small.

I also live in England, we dont get any here because were lucky and special ;)

[Jpmc10]

No luckily,

We had like 34778934 tornado warnings in my trip to edmonton, yet not 1 tornado hit :|
They need new meteorologists

I you lived in texas, like RFS then you probably had the same number of tornadoes we had warnings

[Dozy3000]

I was on holiday when hurricane Wilma struck. The liner said that the holiday wouldn't be canceled but departure time would be earlier, to try and avoid the worse of the Hurricane. It was a Category 5 and I was on a cruise liner in the middle of the Caribbean when it struck badly.Luckily the boat managed to avoid the worst, it was very choppy and extremely windy, everyone was called inside and was told to stay away from outside doors. Afterwards the cruise went on as normal except we had to miss one island as the docks had been damaged and were not safe, the weather continued to be windy all the way through the holiday. Some of the islands that we visited were not impacted as much but there was one that had been totally destroyed.
