Six reported tornado touch downs this afternoon, including one F4 tornado. But yet, Kansas City still lives!!!

This is the third F4 Tornado I've seen. Have you all seen any stuff like that?

You're nuts!

I'm glad you're okay tho.

Been through hurricanes. The eye is so.. odd. Everything is still and quiet and then... all hell breaks loose again. Have had really strong crosswinds and tornados nearby, but never seen them. WHat's really bad is I have a strong fear of lightning.

No, actually. Just some strong winds not even powerful enough to send a tree crashing down at most. For some reason, the area I live in is somehow immune to major disasters.

I'm watching that on the news right now.

Lucky for me the area I live in we don't get any natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes(we at most, heavy rain, it's already lost all it's power when it reaches central Texas), tornadoes or giant monster attacks. The worst we get is flooding in areas of the city far away from me. And thats after 2 or 3 days of constant raining.

Be glad of that, Smi.

Contrary to some beliefs, not everybody lives in the Midwest.

We get the occasional tornado touchdown over the summer in southern Wisconsin. I've never actually seen one, but we've had some touch down a little too close for comfort.

No twisters up here, but we do get those fucking Nor'easters.

An F-4 (almost F-5...) hit my town once, strongest storm ever in the state of Tennessee.

Quakes are much more entertaining.

Edit: I prefer all of these to Blizzards.

No, but here in Ottawa, we get a small taste of everything. Once in a while there'd be a small quake (usually at night, not enough to wake people up), rarely we'd get a tornado, but when we do it's pathetic, there's also some strong thunderstorms, an occasional ice storm. We don't get any extreme weather here except for the heat and cold. (40+degrees Celsius in the summer and -40 degrees Celsius in the winter.

I used to live in Norfolk, VA, where there were hurricanes and tropical storms all the time. I lived in Lawton, OK, when Hurrican Andew hit. If Hurrican Felix had hit the jet stream in the Atlantic, we woulda been screwed over in Norfolk..

The area west and south of Philadelphia gets a few small tornadoes every year, but they generally do little damage and don’t pass F2. I only seen one once while visiting a relative a couple years ago, and it was weak as shit.

i've been through two hurricanes, (gloria, 1986 and Bob 1992) three nasty blizzards (1978, 1996, 2003) and more Nor'easters than i can remember. of all of those, only once did i ever fear for my safety. Hurricane Gloria, a category 2 storm was a direct hit on Providence with its northeast quadrant (the strongest part) back in '86. 3, 6 story pine trees went down in the backyard one atop the other and missed the house a few inches. Our neighbor's stockade fence blew down and the individual planks blew through the neighborhood like wooden missiles...they hit a few cars and bounced off a few houses. The branches from a weeping willow tree three houses down broke off and blew into everything. i was only 10 and it scared the crap out of me.

It missed my home, but people a few blocks away lost everything.

I live in sacramento... the worst thing we have to worry about here are boybands comming through ever so often ¬_¬

And on a side note, my home county got blasted with a storm including tornadoes earlier today.

Which one Nate? Tipton county (where I live) got blasted with 3 of them. One being within a MILE of me! Luckily nobody was hurt though. Jackson got blasted with yet another one at about 2:30 today. This just isn't their week. Half of Madison county is in shambles because of those damned twisters, and they're on a boil alert because the water treatment plant (very close to their electrical CO) got taken out. This is worse than January of '99!

I'm glad I live in Upstate New York now; it's boring, but at least we don't get anything worse than a mild earthquake or thunderstorm.

And the occasional white-out.

Somehow the bad stuff went just south of my city. It's pretty active right now, but I haven't recieved word of getting anything more than a shitload of lightening strikes.

Ah, January '99... I remember that one well. There was a fatal tornado in the same system (iirc...) that hit Perry County, the previously mentioned strongest ever in TN.

The one that hit Perry County (my home county) this time destroyed some homes, but thankfully no one was in them at the time. They were approx. 10 miles from my house, but the power lines and trees were down in my front yard.

It hasn't stopped yet. Meridianville just about 5-10 miles north of me was hit by a tornado. Right now we're under a tornado warning and the interstate which is about 3 miles north of me is where they are projecting possible touch downs.

Here in Florda we occasionally get some F1s, unless a hurricane comes by.
