I am a meteorologist. I have seen tornadoes, waterspouts, funnel clouds, hail, sleet, snow, dust storms in West Texas. Been through several hurricanes. Been through historic flooding. Seen historic heat waves. Seen dust devils. Dense fog.

Didnt see it because it was dark but I lived on a houseboat north of Atlanta in the mid 80s and was sound asleep one night when the damned thing started rocking and rolling like it was in 5-6s when it was tied up in the slip. I got up and the marina I was in was whitecapping and the walkway to the hill was moving up and down 5-6 feet. I got back on the boat because there was no way I could get to the hill. It was deafening loud, wind howling and hailing horizontally. it got eerily quite in just a little while...I knew it was a tornado but when it got light enough to see 2 docks down from me and the entirety of the rest of the marina had been completely destroyed. Entire floating docks of boats had drifted off and were sinking....it looked like a war zone. My slip lost a few roof panels but other than that it was fine...I went to work, nothing I could do.
