| Tornadoes are fun, aren't they? Everyone at my school flipped out. Parents came and got about 99% of the students. There were 40 left, including me. If it's one thing I'm not scared of, it's tornadoes. I think it would be fun to be in one. What do you guys think? | |

| A tornado would be a pretty neat event to experience, regardless of how far I was from it. California hardly ever gets any interesting weather variations, but if I decide to visit somewhere out of state, it'd be pretty awesome to lock my eyes on one to the very least. After all, I only ever see them on the news, and I can bet it's a totally different experience when you can feel the force of the wind. | |

| the force is incredible. I've been pretty close to one and it's extraordinary. most people are terrified if they see one anywhere near them, but I think it's neat | |

| Sounds like it'd be fun.. It's hard to find a thrill from the natural weather on the west coast. | |

| Tornadoes are not that fun. They are a common occurrance up here and I have been in several. The storm chaser types never show the tornadoes that come at night or in rain so thick that you can't tell where anything is at much less a tornado.
They are a frigntening example of natures destructive force. I also think they are cool to watch from a distance but their ability to cause death and destruction needs to be respected. I just got back from Chattanooga on Thursday. It was just like spring here in Nebraska, wind, rain and tornadoes. Didn't even get to see one. |

| By no means did I disregard my respect for their destruction and force, but having little to no experience with tornadoes, at the very least it'd be a interesting event worth keeping my eyes open. I'm sure their forces are phenomenal, considering the massive amount of property damage they cause, especially at night with rain. Maybe I can argue that such events should stay on T.V. In a perfect world, Destruction would be fictional, but alas... Sorry for appearing insensitive to your situation.

| I have been on the receiving end of many and they are not dangerous as is the stuff they are throwing at you at speeds of more than 100 mph. After surviving many if you all find yourself near one remember the tornado won't kill you but the debris flying around will so find a low area and take cover until it passes. | |

| Im in Joplin mo where that 3/4 mile wide F5 went through last May 22 nasty stuff man. My oldest boy was to graduate that night at same time but he decided not to walk the stage (lucky for us) he lost a few classmates that had just graduated. They found a friend of his in a pond 2 miles from the house he got sucked through the sun roof his dad tried to hang onto him. And people got sucked out of hospital windows. There not a joke. Im glad you all that was near them are ok. In a few weeks ill be helpin tearing down hospital. My kids are 20, 18 and 14 and its sad to see there faces when we drive by schools they went to there whole lives and its all gone. I think its up to 161 people dead. Like Crow said Duc Tuck and kiss ur butt goodbye. Here is a before and after video of joplin. 6 miles through the middle of joplin flat

| Very tragic indeed.... a sobering reminder that if you are under a warning take appropriate actions to protect yourself immediately. | |

| I have watched them on the tv, but never up close. The awesome power of that type of weather is humbling. I would be shaking in my boots to be in one. Having no control over the situation is scary. | |
