I am so glad I don't live where those happen. WOW!!!!!

Foodfisher Loc: SO. Cal coast

Too many cameras in just the right place. Especially the flying planes scene. That said, I have personally experienced big dust devils in the Arizona desert while prospecting for gold. That's enough for me. Thumbs up to tornado storm chasers.

I agree BD. I've seen too many real ones and most of those weren't. They were computer generated.

Mikeinmac Loc: Central Kansas

Have experienced two here in central Kansas but neither were that big. They are impressive and sometimes beautiful monsters. I'll take them over a hurricane any day.

I've never been in a hurricane. However, I don't care to go through anymore tornadoes either. The ones I've seen/been through are enough for me.
They rarely have any of them out here in California. We have earthquakes. Don't like them either. Thankfully, I've never been through any BIG ones where I have been at the times they hit elsewhere.

Just one more reason that I have never regretted moving to Oregon from Kansas 38 years ago. Yeah, we have scary forest fires and the occasional tremor that we rarely feel, but I have witnessed 3 tornadoes, one of which wiped out a century-old farm belonging to one of my best friends' family.... nobody died or was even hurt, but when you are familiar with a picturesque sprawling 100+yr old house and magnificent barn and watch it turned into matchsticks...... only losing a loved one is a worse feeling.

Helped "clean up"(yeah right...all you are doing is piling up debris and keeping a sharp eye for anything of worth) the Parson's homestead. Steve's dad was correct..."tallest thing we saw, when we crawled out of the basement was the overturned tractor, brand-new Massey-Ferguson, dammit... hadn't even made the first payment on it."
Days later received word that their cattle were found 9 miles away !
The next spring a farmer plowing his cornfield found a plastic-wrapped package containing the grandparents' wedding album.....six miles away.
No thanks..... Momma Nature's a real b***ch sometimes.

Well you just might get to see one up close at the “meet and greet”... Kansas, tornado alley...🐟on

That missive about my buddy's 100+yo farm blown away..... happened about 15-20 miles from the proposed M&G, just northwest of Baldwin City....~12 miles south of Lawrence, Ks.

And if I understand it right, isn’t the month of May... tornado month????...🐟on

FixorFish Loc: SW Oregon

Well, that one was in early June, but....yeah.... that's about when I remember them starting.

Fish Dancer Loc: Guntersville, Alabama

Thanks a lot Ronnie. We’re moving to that country. Now I have to go and build a storm shelter.

Well FD, I grew up in Texas, tornado alley. If I ever was to move back there, I wouldn't live in a place that didn't have a storm cellar. Better to have it and never need it than to need it and not have it.
That's the way I feel about a lot of things.

DozerDave Loc: Port Orchard Wa.

I’ll “holster”that idea, Saw... 🐟on

saw1 Loc: nor cal Windsor

Yep.

Lynny is already checking out companies that will build them. It cost between 7-10 thousand. Expensive but worth it. Our new backyard slopes up so we might be able to build it into the hillside.
