... I was in Pennsylvania in 2010 when a small twister came up my driveway. I had just returned home from the neighbors house and was fumbling around for my keys to get inside as that thing approached. I opened the door and turned around to look, and there It was, maybe 100 feet away from me, and I just stood in the doorway to watch. Weird feeling. It was a small twister, but had a lot of wind. Flattened all the shrubbery around the house.
The strange part was that the twister went through a bank of trees through the woods and left a jagged space in the trees, making its path until it ended. Not even one tree fell, just the path carved out in the branches.
So it can be said that you can get caught up in the moment.

I bet a lot of people don't even realize how close they have been to being hit by a tornado. I'm not talking about one on the ground, but a storm trying to produce a tornado.

In one of the threads here a couple years ago I was posting from the living room as a warned storm came almost directly over our house. It didn't have one on the ground, I had been watching the radar closely. It was rotating considerably, though. I was watching the rain blow away from the window in the living room and watched as the wind shifted within a few seconds and the rain started pounding the window. My girlfriend at the time yelled from the bathroom, "Is that a tornado?!?!?!" I yelled back, "Don't think so!" She yelled, "Well, it damn sure sounds like it!"
