re: 25 Years Ago, May 3, 1999 F5 OK Tornado

When I hear or read about huge tornadoes, I always imagine what it must have been like long ago as an Indian out in Kansas, Oklahoma or the like, sitting on horseback up on a bluff, far away with a safe distance, just watching a humongous twister rip through the country side.

No radar, no warning, no shelter, nowhere to run...just watching something you have no chance to be prepared for come destroy the land around you. Makes sense that they built shelters that could be packed up in an instant and moved.

Part of me knows that they were so in touch with the natural world, with senses almost like when animals can feel danger coming, that they were aware that SOMETHING is coming, and it is bringing death with it.

Tornadoes are awesome and viscious.
