re: Anyone ever seen a tornado in person?

Was sleeping on the couch and heard a roaring like a train (or maybe a low flying jet). I was right by Barksdale so I ran out front. That thing was coming right for me. It was on the ground and spitting out debris and there were electrical flashes and transformers popping.

So this is going on and you… stay outside staring at it?

it lifted off and went right over my head. I could look up into it. It touched down again a couple of miles away. Don't know why I was spared.

I get looking at a tornado safely passing by, I’ve done it myself.

But if you truly looked up into the funnel and it was causing damage in your immediate area you realize it could’ve set back down or very likely was dropping debris from your neighborhood all around you?
