sequoias said:I haven't seen a tornado in real life either. I've heard of tornadoes on news in California, Oregon and Washington state. I've heard of some tornadoes that ripped thru downtown Salt Lake City in Utah and also Dallas, Texas, too. People say that tornadoes sound like freight train roaring by when you're standing close to a train.
Interesting history tidbits:
Tornado with 100 mph winds hits Seattle and Juanita on September 28, 1962.

On September 28, 1962, at about 5:55 p.m. a 100 mph tornado hits the Sand Point area of Seattle. This is the first confirmed tornado in Western Washington. In 15 minutes the tornado damages eight houses in the View Ridge and Sand Point area of Seattle, forms a 100 foot high waterspout while crossing Lake Washington, smacks into homes, and topples 70 trees in Juanita.
A witness sighted two clouds merging to form a gray funnel cloud at roughly 70th Street NE and 25th Avenue NE. The funnel reached the ground at 5:55 p.m. with 100 mph winds at the northern edge of the View Ridge Playfield near where boys were playing football. At least one boy was lifted off the ground. It knocked down three fences before reaching the house at 7308 44th Avenue NE.
Did you end up here?FelixKat930 said:I have been one tornado when I was 17 years old at the time. IT was very scary!
Bluerobin said:I also love tornados..I'm fasinated with all of nature and it's workings. I've never seen one in person, and I would never want to because they are deadly. I've seen several "devil dusters" though which are similar in appearance to tornados when I lived in a desert area in southern Idaho. They aren't as powerful, and develop from the ground up-at least that's what it looks like. They were awesome to watch..but scary to be inside.

Does anyone know of a good tornado warning system for Deaf when we are sleeping? Something with a weather radio. I have been told tornados sound loud like a train going by, but if I can't hear I would certainly get sucked out of my home and tossed into the neighbour's tree!
I love love love tornadoes I live in upstate NY so our tornados if we get them are very week, I saw a tornado forming in Florida a few years ago and I was in a tornado when I was younger, I thought it was a train and started to go to the window to watch it (I loved trains as a kid) and my mom pulled me away from the window and we went into the hallway, I remember the window breaking, and when we went outside when It was all over, we found out that the tornado actually jumped over our house and landed in our neigbors yard! Crazy lol the only other "tornado" I was in, was just a funnel cloud that started to form but didnt finish, and it just kind of hovered down the street. Not a big deal. But I also wanted to be a storm chaser growing up, did many projects on tornados and actually made a tornado simulator in 5th grade, with dry ice, a fan, and a vaccuum!
