Close call. The good thing about a tornado is it doesn't last long. When I was 13, we had a tornado rip through the heart of my hometown. My scout troop spent the rest of the summer helping with the cleanup. I grew to hate fiberglass insulation.
That storm was the closest I've been to a tornado. Amazing how quickly it can change lives. Yes, that fiberglass insulation is the worst, specially when wet.
Wow! What adventures you have had in your life, Ron. That must have been terrifying -- and even more so after the fact. You shared that tension and that fear with us perfectly.
I remember the tornado in Xenia, OH. I was living in Hillsboro, not too far away. I had seen a funnel cloud. The next morning, a fellow employee who lived in Xenia didn't show up. There was no communication, but he made it in to work the next day. During the storm he went to his basement and watched out the basement window. A 2 x 4 came flying thru the window, shattering glass and just missing his head. He found a better place to hide.
Fascinating account!
Thank you, Jim.

I know. It was a sobering experience.

I remember the surprise nature of the thing. It was on us so fast and how there was nothing to do but hold on. Thank you, Sharron!

It is just natural to want to watch storms but watching near windows is dangerous for sure. Time and again that doesn't end well.
