Yes I have and it was scary. By the time we saw it and got to the basement it was all over, in seconds. Didn't hurt the house much but my garage was in the trees and trees down all around the house.

The only tornadoes I've ever experienced were in my dreams. I've never experienced a real tornado before and I'm torn on whether or not I want to. It seems like a pretty freaky thing, but I often wonder what it's like to actually experience one.

I use to be the same way, was interested in chasing as long as I could stay on the opposite side of the tornado. Not anymore. Now I'm interested in information and discussing tornados but not in getting anywhere near one. lol

I have been in one and it is no fun. I was working the night shift and sleeping during the day. A storm woke me up and it sounded really bad but I had never been afraid before so I just laid there. My husband knocked on my door and said we needed to get downstairs so I got up and started for the stairs. By the time I got there it was over, 6 trees over 100 years old were down in my yard and one of them was partially in my kitchen. When I walked out on the front porch to see the damage I almost fainted. It is hard to realize the damage they can do. Since that time I no longer ignore the warnings so I guess it taught me something that could some day save my life.

april 2nd tornado that hit our town - april 2nd tornado that hit our town
up until april of this year our answer would have been no, never been in one. Now our answer is our town has been in 2 and they are no fun! We're also in missouri, april 2nd and f-3 tornado came through our town and destroyed 60% of it. We took refuge in a church right behind our house. I can remember walking out of the church and seeing mud sling all over everything. Then a tour of the town looked like a war zone. Landmarks, town history and more were gone! Luckily in town no one lost their lives, unfortanetly a little town hit before it got here 2 people lost their lives. On april 25th an f-1 came through and done minor damage to a already devasted town. People in this town are still trying to rebuild and heal from it. Bad part is tornado season is right around the corner again:(
