I am frantic and i am scared to death by tornadoes, the other day i was at work in my office building on the 30th floor and i saw the weather getting pretty bad with all the lightning and rain so i decided to go home and check on my wife. So immediately i left what i was doing and head for the express elevator, on the way down i got an weather channel notice on my iphone of a tornado warning and franticly rushed home. So i drove home on the interstate and the weather was pretty bad while everyone was seeking shelters as the sirens went off like crazy for 45 minutes. When i got home my wife was in the closet and she asked me why i left work, i said i was scared that she would’ve gotten hurt. She started crying and said why did you risk your life running home like that, you could have gotten killed and left me. She said that she would’ve been perfectly fine and that i should see my doctor because of how paranoid i am with these tornadoes. Do you think i should go see my doctor like she told me ? She said she doesn’t want me to do this again because she said i might not be lucky next time. The tornado didn’t hit us it dissipated about a mile from our house.

I’ve moved to Oklahoma city in Oklahoma to stay for college at the university. My 16 story dorm building is about half a mile from the school and sometimes i walk to there and sometimes home at night, as you know Oklahoma is tornado alley state and we always get tornadic storms. It was raining and lightning very crazy last night and there was a tornado watch but thank god nothing formed out of the storms. In case there was a tornado warning at night in my area, how would i detect a tornado is on the ground ? Because sometimes i am in my dorm alone at night so i don’t know how to know if one is coming, should i check use my computer’s internet to detect a tornado ? Also, because sometimes i walk to fast food restaurants at night to get food so i want to know how i could detect if there’s a tornado so i could take cover before it’s too late. Can anyone please help me out ? I would like to know before i get killed by one of these storms.

I’m wondering why, when tornadoes happen, don’t they leave as many fatalities?
I live in southeastern Virginia, and a tornado hit Suffolk in 2008 (they’re kinda rare here but do happen), an EF-3 almost an EF-4, it flattened homes and such, but no deaths were reported. Just some injuries.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy no one was killed, but HOW IN THE WORLD does a tornado flatten buildings that weigh more than humans, but somehow, humans survive? Like, won’t they be flattened by the buildings if they don’t have basements which a lot of homes around here don’t have basements.
I don’t understand. Also a few tornadoes hit North Carolina a little while ago but only 3 injuries were reported, it flipped over trailer homes and tore off roofs, how do people survive that?
People say that the chances of death or even being affected by a tornado is slim, but how? I understand lightning because you can stay inside a shelter or something, but a tornado like goes right at you, how do you survive those? Especially if it destroys everything around you… :/
Can someone enlighten me please?

Can someone please interpret my dream?
None of these people, except my mom are people in my life]
Here is my dream:
I walked to school with my twin sisters and went to some classes. When I arrived at home I was having a goodbye party. Everyone was crying and upset. So, my boyfriend packed all my things and we were on our way, We went about a half of a mile and he stopped at a store. My cousins and friends were there begging me to stay. When my boyfriend came back out to the car, I asked if he could possibly take them back before we left. He did and then we went about a half of a mile again. This time, I saw one of my friends and asked him to stop. I talked to my friend and he asked my boyfriend to take him home. Well, we were driving past the same place again and he wanted to stop before our road trip and get ice cream. We did and the same process with me seeing friends and cousins repeated for a long time. Finally, we were passing the store but all a sudden there were sirens for tornadoes and there was lightning. We pulled over and as we were getting ready to get into some type of shelter my boyfriend ran off and disappeared. Then I saw one of my best-friends climb up with a ladder to the top of an electricity pole[on purpose] and she died from electrocution. I then started running home and the winds picked up and lighting kept striking. I finally made it home and I could not find my mom. I kept calling for her and I finally found her. She said "What’s wrong with you" and I responded " there is a tornado and a whole bunch of things have gone wrong and I just ran a mile" she looked at me like I was crazy and she said "Where did you run from?" and then she turned on the weather forecast and it did not even say it was raining, yet I was wet. Then I woke up.

Are you all alright? What was the worst you saw? There were reports of high winds, hail, and at least one tornado in the area. This was a very nasty bow echo that came through the region. Lightning struck a tree right next to my house and I’m very glad nothing was lit on fire.

Was there actually a tornado happening in parts of california?
at the time of the storm getting worse than what it was and i was in the gym with my friends and when we looked outside through the window it got darker and darker, the wind started picking up, and its started thundering/lightning and it rained REALLY hard, my school was flooding (outside: H U G E puddles)
so was it actually a tornado? or not?
To miss kelly: i heard about seal beach O:! my friend talks about it all the time at THHS.

Tell me about it! I used to live in Oklahoma and we’d get tornado watches and warnings a lot, I almost miss it! (Well, I was scared but I do miss the storms.) I always wanted to see one, and then I finally got to. I was standing on the edge of a field and saw it behind a bunch of trees. It was dark and I could only see it when the lightning struck, but that was awesome! Any personal story?

I have a few questions, even if you don’t answer all of them, some would be great!! Thanks!!
1. Can twisters just end suddenly, like have the weather be really stormy and windy, then end up having a real nice, sunny day?
2. Can an intense twister form within fifteen minutes?
3. In one area, anywhere, can tornadoes form one after another (for many tornadoes)?
4. Have measurements ever been taken from inside the tunnel of a tornado?
5. What is the warning time before a tornado hits nowadays?
6. Can some one tell the way the tornado is going to go by the way it meets the sky/atmosphere?
7. What are some weather conditions associated with tornadoes (hail, winds, lightning? etc.)?
8. Can a tornado split in two?
9. In the movie Twister, two people ride in this truck in the path of a tornado, but they can’t see it until the tornado comes over a hill. Is that possible?
10. And I know this is kind of silly, but tornadoes and twisters are the same thing, right? Just want to be sure!
Thanks!! :D

Lately we have been having some very vicious thunderstorms. Within the last 10 days I have seen a mesocyclone and a tornado (not in the same day!). There is an amazing lightning show going on north of here, and my Panasonic mini DV won’t pick up the lightning in the clouds. Neither will the crappy camera on my cell phone. =(

I dont know anyone who has ever seen or heard about a tornado in Miami or other Florida cities (exept for the couple that got on tv, in 97 and 2000 i believe). I know there was one also in 2007 in mid florida. Florida is said to be the #1 state for tornadoes per square mile, yet no one has seen one or knows that fact. I mean i see some crazy clouds with potential over Miami all the time, that are much more dangerous looking than the ones in tornado videos from Oklahoma and such. So what gives?
Yes I know Florida is #1 for lightning, I also research Miami weather a lot, what Im trying to say is Im surprised that Im the only one it seems who knows about tornadoes in Miami.
And heres something from Wikipedia
" Florida leads the United States in tornadoes per square mile (when including waterspouts)[26] but they do not typically reach the intensity of those in the Midwest and Great Plains. "
