Saw a tornado about 1 mile from my house today

[Middie_Hero19]

Yep there was a tornado about a mile from my house. Me and my mom were watching it cross the highway. We had the perfect view from our driveway. Then we saw a spiraling cloud almost right above us so we got into the crawl space. But there hasnt been a tornado here in Pueblo Colorado before, or at least in a VERY long time and I got to see it. I thought that was kinda cool. Lol some dude on a motorcyle drove through it and got thrown from his bike. He walked away but now he gets to say hes 'been IN a tornado.'

[the next 'one']

i saw that cloud earlier today. it was crazy man, all dark and stuff. it was really windy and rainy here in parker, colorado.

I was in Iowa one time, and we got one that tore the up outside of the hotel we were staying at. There was a bunch of broken windows and stuff. It was awesome. We get tornado warnings all the time when i visit nebraska, but we're yet to get hit.

I've seen a funnel cloud. We we're eating at Chili's and we were outside and this lady went 'O my God! that's a tornado!' but it's only classified as a tornado if it touches ground, but it was spinning around and everything but never touched down.

I've had so many experiences with tornadoes. Lived in Georgia, had a ton. Lived in Connecticut, had 1 actually. Lived in Florida, had 1 and a bunch of hurricanes.

As for my little sister, when we lived in Georgia she was sleeping over at a friends house and a tornado came and they went in to the basement. The tornado picked the house up and spun it around and set it back down.

We were also on the road through Maryland and there was a tornado warning and on the radio it said it was like 2 miles from where we were so we pulled off into a gas station and the car was rocking and it was hailing and we knew the tornado was right on top of us but we couldn't see it.

Crazy times man, crazy times.

I haerd somewhere If your sucked up into a tornado, and nothing hits you, you will be set lightly down with no injuries.

Read that in a weather book, it is true, there are stories of dogs, farm animals, whole classrooms of chinese kindergarteners, and so on being picked up, carried several miles and set down unharmed. Oh, also, one time last whenever, a tornado touched down not 3 blocks from my house, thus tearing apart a golf course and local city park(big place, not a little park). Pretty insane sorms and stuff for a full day and night.

We have had 2 in the 10 years I have lived in my current location. Both came down my street, and ripped out every tree that wasn't over 20 feet tall. It was pretty cool the next day seeing branches and leaves everywhere. They were fairly small though.

i was on tlf about a week ago, chillen, then all of a sudden i hear this huge CRACK and figured it was one of my neighbors who decided to light a mortar in my front yard in order to get me outside. i look out the window to see a tree in my front yard smoking with a huge crack running up the middle. it got owned by lightning. scary stuff

Thats just freaky. I lived out west and opened my door in the morning to see a tornado in the distance i would be so freaked out. IT would be like RUN:runaway:

My house got hit by lightning last year and the top started on fire.

[roxgaeld51]

are there tornadoes only in the US? i mean, i don't think i ever heard of one outside of the North American borders.

[ReLAXation7]

we usually have like 3 tornado warnings in nc a year but i've never seen one

[IRISHLAX30]

we get alot of tornado warnings in my town but none have ever struck

[Mustangs21]

There was one once in my town. I live off the side of a small highway in New Jersey and the tornado dissapeared right on the otherside of the highway. Unfortunetly I was in Conneticut and did not get to see it. :sad:

Because american children are obese and would totally throw off the balance of the classroom, causing it to spin wildly out of control.

I would, too. I don't think there's been more than one tornado in the past 50 years in quiet Burlington County.
