Lucky he is not dead.
That was crazy. Tornadoes are an amazing part of this world we call Earth. When I still lived in Oklahoma, we had a tornado travel four miles down the middle of a Tulsa street, but the funky thing was, the first mile, it went down the right side of the street, and crossed over to the left side at the red light, then went another mile and crossed back over at the next red light, and repeated that twice more. On the opposite sides of the street, no damage at all, on the side it landed, it wiped out everything in it's path. Crazy.
Awesome! I don't mean to laugh, well, okay I do, but that is an awesome story.I still remember when I was 3 yrs old, and we had to go down in our basement for shelter when a tornado was approaching our town.
This was a traumatizing experience for me because it was a very old house whose basement was really just a musty cellar with cobwebs and other critters everywhere. Not only was the basement creepy, but at 3 yrs old I didn't understand all the words my parents used. When they said a tornado was coming to hurt us and we had to seek shelter, I thought they said 'potato'. So for months and maybe even years afterwards I had this nightmare of my family cowering in fear in a dirty corner of the basement, when the door at the top of the stairs opens up and this ominous-looking potato suspended in the air starts floating down the stairs, the lights start flashing, and we all start screaming for our lives...
True story.
My uncle had one.Believe it or not, I had never seen a live tornado. Even no finger on the sky. I was borned and raising in Sioux Falls, 15 years in southeast Nebraska, and settled down in Okieland ....... all tornado alley.
I was thinking the exact same thing. He had time to turn around.just turn around and go the other way!!! SO SO lucky i don't think he knows how lucky he really is
