A neighbor of mine stumbled across some video of the EF-1 tornado that I experienced in 2016. In it, at about 1:00 (when he/she crosses the railroad tracks) the back my house can been seen across the cornfield.

It sure got my attention - in a hurry!

In the little town we live near, we have both a Big Voice and a warning siren, we are most frightened when it goes off at night. I have experienced blizzards, typhoons, hurricanes, Nor'easters and tornados, and what I can't see adds a level of fear.

Especially when it is about 100 yards away and coming right at ya!   

I did find out that I can still run pretty quick, if I need to.

Well, I can't match the others but, I have been through a blizzard.

I don't blame you for the fear. Not much we can do but hunker down as best we can and hope we live to tell of the experience. Night time - yes...can't even see it coming.

Watching that video makes me glad for two things. 1-That my house has a basement and 2- I don't live in the Midwest! Maybe its the sheer randomness of a tornado that scares me? I've been through to many hurricanes and blizzards in my lifetime so far but the few tornadoes I have experienced scared me more then any of these other storm I've experienced.
