Henry we live right in the middle of the tornado belt in the midwest. I have been through several tornados over the years.
Th scariest wasn't one I was in but one that was close to where my kids were at their grandparents. That one was on the ground over a mile wide and on the ground for about 10 miles or more. It took a three story house just up the road from where my kids were and lifted it and turned it and set it back down onto the foundation. It wiped out a small town and took all the new crops out of all the fields it went through while on the ground. It took all of the cattle from the guy who lived in the house that was moved and they found some of them in Minnesota. Lots of loss of life and it was a bad time.
I know how scary they are!! I'm glad you came through it alright!!!
