Reply #37: I have. I've been through many tornadoes. [View All]

I can't even count how many. One I remember strongly as a child. We were hunkered down in the tub with a mattress over our heads. I remember my fence being lifted up and thrown across the neighborhood. Just a couple of years ago, I had 3 trees uprooted in my yard. I've been there. Many times. I live in tornado alley. They are a regular here in the spring and fall.


And 40 miles from it, we still had terrible weather today. It was scary. I am used to it, but it is always scary. I also lived throuh Katrina. I wasn't on the coast, but even when it reached my area, it was still a category 1 with 90+ mph winds. Devastation. But I can still find mother nature beautiful.
