I think tornado's are pretty scary...I am lucky that I live in the part of Australia that I am in, we don't get tornado's where I am..but we do get cyclone's (aka Monsoon's).

I think the super cell is the most awesome thunderstorm there is, what I mean is it's raw power, it is the single most powerful thunderstorm system in the state of Arkansas, a single super cell can produce multiple tornados, and all though I still fear them, I still like to watch them, I have seen probably 20 tornados in my life time, one was an unusual one, that went upwards instead of down, my brother and I saw it when we were younger, we were at a walmart, and standing outside waiting on the rest of our family to come out, there was this strange sound above us, we looked up, and there was this hole in the sky, but it was spinning, and rippling we thought it was really cool, but when other people saw it, they started yelling, and runing :/ I do not remember if it touched down anywhere or not [ 06-06-2004, 10:58 AM: Message edited by: Stormymystic ]

I've been dealing with tornadoes every year of my life.
Living in the Atlanta area (just south of, really) and then in northern Florida and for 3 years in eastern Tennessee, and now back in Georgia since '96 - I've yet to see a year without at *least* one tornado. I've become kind of immune to the fear part. At least, as long as I'm at home and know where my pets are... As a kid, we'd get everything down in the basement. As an adult, I've had to go the closet or bathroom route. I've been fortunate to never be hit by one directly, though they've ravaged each city I've lived in and some surrounding cities. There were even a couple of times on a trip from my Mom's (in Georgia) back to Tennessee where I was travelling in the wake of tornadoes. You could see the paths they'd taken across the road in front of me not minutes before. I think if I didn't have pets, I'd be one of those 'storm chasers'.

I've only ever been through one cyclone in my life, and that was pretty scary; the town flooded, trees were up-rooted, houses destroyed, cars turned over...it was pretty scary...that's what i get for living near the coast [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hey Z, glad you shut down and waited it out! I've been through a few tornados and warnings and it was scary each time. Had a few touch down within a few miles of where I was, once in Arkansas and once up in NYS.
We've got underground power lines in my neighborhood but we still loose power during heavy storms like the hail and wind we got last week!
