I like watching storm chaser videos on youtube. I always think it would be so amazing to see a tornado in person, if only you could watch from a safe enough spot. Have you seen one in person and how close?

Yup...25 yrs ago was driving down a rural rd heading straight for one....was very dark, thought I was heading into a bad storm.
Then it touched down on the rd about 500 yds away....then transformers started popping throwing sparks all over the rd...turned and hightailed down the opposite direction....speed limit was 45....I was doing 100 mph watching in in the rearview....followed about half a mile then went back up.
Had to pull to the side and stop shaking... :-[ :P

I did. When I was a child visiting my Aunt in Minnesota, seen one, wow learn I was a chicken at heart. :neutral:

I watched my tree get picked up and carried down my drive way , I lived in tornado alley in southern OK ... the storm chasers were at our A & W all the time .. 1/2 a mile from my farm. I lived right on I35 in Davis between OK city and Dallas there were tornados all the time .

I watched tornado touch down less than a block from my house and it is scaey
-
I have not in person but if I did I would be scared to death.

While in the backseat of my parents station wagon on a trip towards Ky; my Dad pointed one out. We were traveling in the opposite direction of it and he didn't seemed frazzled in any way. He was real casual about pointing it out. It was scarier when in an auditorium for a childrens dance recital the instructor announced the kids were safe but everyone had to head down to the school basement as a tornado was drawing near. All were safe and the tornado touched down 20 min. in another small community.

Love Twister the movie,Wizard of Oz too

No haven't seen any, and don't want too. If it happens, it happens.

ON videos only thank god because i do live ina tornado ridden state texas just thankful ive never seen one up close yet
-
I have seen video of some that have been in the area and the surrounding area and I can't say I would have realized what was going on. It looks so different in a woody, hilly area like I am in in NC then when you see videos of ones on the plains. Ours pop out of the sky go a couple miles destroying pop up go a bit drop down again etc

I had a safe room, the bunkers are a spooky thing , lots a creepy crawling stuff down there. Black widows every where , fire ants, copper heads , why i moved back to MN got bite by a brown recluse and needed to come to the Mayo to save my leg. Some times cold weather is a good thing...

Yikes, I never thought of that. I might rather take my chances with the tornado!

I am very thankful that I have never been around a tornado
-
I've never seen on in person, but I think they're scary. I live in California and I'm used to earthquakes, but I think seeing a tornado coming would freak me out. I hear people in the midwest (and east coast) don't think much about them, they just do go to their storm shelter.
-
I am grateful that I have not had to experience a tornado. I am satisfied watchin documentaries
-
Love Twister the movie,Wizard of Oz too
You loved them dropping the house on the witch just like me !! and that mean old lady on the bike!
-
No, I have never seen a tornado.

:fish: :moon: :fish: I haven't seen a tornado n my life time yet. Would be spooky to get to see one if I did. I've seen the clouds looking like a tornado, but nothing that has started into one. :fish: :moon: :fish:

No. I am not stupid. And it was dark. How close was it? Well it took down a building a couple miles from my house. And one of the police officers was screaming on the radio he saw a funnel cloud and he was about half a mile from my house. SO pretty close. But it was over before we really knew it began. The other one that touched down in my town I was a kid. Took out the windows in the gym where I was at. And took the top of a family members business which was about a mile or less from where I was.
-
Never seen one in person.
-
Nope and I'm grateful for that.
-
I too have never seen one in person and would also like to do so given some sort of guarantee it wouldn't hurt me or mine. My favorite iconic tornado is the one in the Wizard of Oz.
