Have you ever actually seen a tornado?

Question

I'd love to see one and hear one, but of course I suppose I wouldn't really want to because of the effects. What was your experience?

Answer 1

I was working in the rear of a department store building when I stepped outside to empty the trash.  No sooner than I stepped out of the building than a tornado presented itself just about 100 yds away.  It was so close I could not tell what it was, just ferocious noise and debris like crazy.  For a split second, remarkably, I felt almost no wind but just just as soon as I turned to hustle back into the building, it was all that I could do to get in and get the doors closed.

Scary stuff.

Answer 2

I have seen a tornado over water, its called a waterspout. An awesome sight but instead of being black(dust and debris) its pure white (just sea water) This is why people sometimes find fishes in their gardens after one of these !!

Answer 4

I was like 8 or 9 years old and I was visiting my grandma...and the one thing that I really remember is it sounded like a train.  But, it was over so quickly.  It didn't last for very long.  But, I saw it forming in the sky..before my grandma dragged me and my older sister into her basement...I vaguely remember it looked like it had formed right out of the clouds.
