a few times with tornado's, a couple when i was young, we had to go into the root cellar and i don't don't which was worse going into the dark cellar or the tornado's . The cellar doors were held in place by steel  poles and they were just heaving with the force of the tornado's. tore the roofs off of several house. Then as a teenager in Ohio  we were at my aunt's house again in the cellar.  It took the garage off the foundation right over the cellar, but left the cement floor intact. The garage was completely tore off the side of the house. Second time we were at my grandparents. but it did no damage  just skidded by us. I do get very nervous when i watch the sky and it change to a pea green color and the hairs are standing up on my arms.

When I was young, went visiting to the parent's family living in the midwestern state usa, The tornado emergency horn sounded and we waited it out in the basement/root cellar, I was scared.

Although I haven't had a tornado directly hit my house, I have had several family members devastated by a tornado. Southern Illinois was hit by a huge tornado many years ago and it is something you never forget.

Never had a tornado hit in the city I was in but one hit near us when we were living in UT. I wasn't sure what was going on at the time but supposedly we had a warning. It hit in Salt Lake City. My parents were driving down there that night for a concert. It was Journey and...Night Rider? I think it was Night Rider. I guess the bands were filming the tornado from their hotel rooms. Now that I'm in CO I hear about them a lot more but one hasn't happened where I'm at.

I have been through several huricanes and bad wind storms, the last one being hurricane Sandy. We were very fortunate. Those a us on the east and gulf  coasts are  very used to hurricanes.

Tornadoes come through this area all the time. It is a terrifying experience.

Yes, I used to live in Miami and there was a small Hurricane in 1991 compared to the HUGE one that hit the east coast (NJ/NY) in 2012, Hurricane Sandy. That was the worst I ever seen and so scary!

I live in Florida and experienced several hurricanes and tornadoes.  We had horrible tornadoes about a week apart here earlier in the year and a lot of the damage still hasn't been repaired. I haven't been through a real hurricane since 2004 with Ivan but a lot of things got closed down with the residuals of Katrina in 2005
