In the 60's I was doing the evening milking in very hot and humid weather. After we finished I took off my scarf which I wore tied behind my head, and I remember thinking I wanted to take off my hair, too. The heat and humidity were oppressive.
Tornados can very funny things. One picked up a house in which a many and his wife were eating dinner. It set the house down some distance away, and the people inside didn't even know what had happened.
