Default Re: Tornado

There's not much that can stand up to a tornado, I should know, I've been through several cat 3 hurricanes and force 4 tornadoes. I lived in Wichita, Kansas for 5 years and were hit with tornados just about every summer and fall. One of them y'all have probably seen on TV, the one that hit McConnell AFB in Wichita. I was there and can tell you that it's the scariest thing I've ever been through. Thank God the base had a siren and it alerted us about 60 seconds before the thing hit us. The news say you get minutes to run for cover but that's bull, you get seconds! Nothing in its path survived and 28 people died in the town of Andover which had no sirens. Every town in the US should have a siren, without it, you're dead meat when a tornado comes. I wish the best to the survivors of the storms and hope they don't have to go through that again.
