Yeah, I used to live in Indiana, so I've lived through some freak thunderstorms...as well as tornados. One time it was raining so hard and blowing so much the rain was going completely sideways. Weird site may I say. Oh, and when I was six I went outside and got an umbrella while it was really windy and I was lifted off the ground! Hehe. Like Mary Poppins.

Hehe getting pulled by your Umbrella hehe! Anyway I remember one year Oh I believe it was the summer of 92 during the last week of July when it happened. I was once a Boy Scout and well I was at Summer camp for a week and we were staying in tents and well on the Wednsday of the last week of July it was really hot and steamy during the evening hours the sky the very air around me was omunious almost green in color. I was at a tradeing post buying some candy when I notice across this huge field Pitch black clouds moveing in the horizon moveing quickly towards me. And my troop's camp site was like two fields beyond a small brush of trees. So not only I had run across two feilds, I had to run across three fields to get to my campsite. The wind started to pick up and I knew then I had to get back to the camp site. But like I said we were in tents at the time so it was even more scary. As I started to dash across the three fields the wind started to get stronger and stronger to the point where the trees themselves were blowing sideways. I looked up into the sky before the rain and the clouds were circleing in a funnel like fashion. Right then and there I knew it was a tornado, and that I had no place to go but to my tent that surpriseingly stayed in the ground.
I was pretty much running for safty but I dident know where, I saw my trrop comming towards me. Right now it was pouring rain and extremely windy. The tress were blowing sideways and there was severe lightening and thunder and a tornado. We mainly ran into a small cabin and waited out the storm. I tell ya I can never forget that expierence.
