Tornadoes. We all know what they are; giant whirling vortexes of air that look terrifying and sound like a freight train. By sheer coincidence, they happen to form in all of the shittiest parts of America and the meaner ones take the lives of a few idiot hicks and/or poor bastards in mobile homes on the way. I felt like talking about tornadoes because yesterday the south had a "particularly dangerous situation" weather notification up. These notifications are fairly rare, and they usually mean that the weather is very very bad and you are a moron if you go outside. The PDS issued yesterday led to several tornadoes, including one that killed people in Albany, GA. There is more to a tornado than just windy death, however. Tornadoes are fascinating! They can be skinny:  They can be fat:  Sometimes Mother Nature even gives birth to twins   Tornadoes can even be sneaky bastards, appearing only in the dead of night or "rain-wrapped":  Tornadoes are loving scary and leave a trail of wrecked poo poo in their wake. The highest rated ones, EF5 (it's not F5 anymore), can completely obliterate houses to their foundations.  Here is a video of an EF4 tornado that looks like the trailer to a horror movie:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Szwd-0tatdo And this is an EF5 ripping apart a house: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAPnbzHvIKs Talk about tornadoes here! I'm sure midwestern goons have some stories.

I've seen a few tornadoes in Ohio and a few in Oklahoma. They are scary and I don't recommend it.

Lots of tornado drills in elementary schools but never any tornadoes. The teachers were always strict about us staying balled up silently facing the wall so the only fun part was when somebody farted.

No major tornadoes but for smaller ones I've been through a few (like bunker down in the basement and wait for a few hours) hell I've even had em touch down within a couple blocks of me but there is almost always ample warning. However now I'm so desensitized to the sirens I've slept through the last 4 or so tornadoes in my life. The thing that freaks me out more than a tornado is the one time a microburst hit near me. Those are like someone detonating a bomb in the air and it just levels poo poo in a big circle around it, with hardly any sort of warning whatsoever. Way scarier than a tornado imo.

I approve of this thread. Voted 5. Tornadoes are eerily beautiful. The silence, anticipation, and then the sirens are the scariest part. Besides the death machine. That's probably not cool.

"Tornado" is derived from the Proto-Norse expression "Thor's sneeze".

As a lifelong Nebraska resident I'd just like to say that tornadoes are scary but also cool. All these videos are fuckin' nuts, keep 'em coming.
