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.
HistoryLink.org Essay 886
Printer-Friendly Format

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.

Yup, tornadoes can happen almost anywhere in the US. Most tornadoes in the West US are weak. They can go up to F3 max at the most. Most of them are F0 to F2.

Yeah, I know what you mean there. The clouds carry the mail and dump them somewhere far away. That similar thing happened when a F3 tornado was on Columbia River between Oregon and Washington back in 1973. After it was over, the clouds rained fish all over the place in Vancouver, WA. It was a mess!

Tornado dream.. it mean that your life is in mess and you are not sure what to do about it so you are basically confused.. thats all it means..

i used to have that many times when i was young .. mean i was confused and nto sure what to do about my life so it was really in a mess.. but not anymore! whew! heh

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.

There are one called Dust Storm.. BIGGEST storm especially in middle east.. i never been in one.. but i was told it was nasty and u wouldnt want to be caught in one.. have to wear mask for that.. whew!

but thats why i love natural phenomena they r unquie and different from normal.. i think they r amazing.. Works of God..
