Archbaron Larry Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 So there's a tornado right by my school and it sounds like I won't be getting out for an hour maybe. And I'm hungry. :/ Discuss experiences with tornadoes and other storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Rhodes Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I've never seen, or heard a tornado before and I hope I never do tbqh. A thunderstorm is the worst I've probably been in, good ol' England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miror B Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Holy sh*t it's that close? o.O Maybe I shouldn't have ordered pizza delivery... I apparently slept through a tornado once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Coming back from Chicago on a school bus ten years ago, we got lost, then saw one touchdown. Weird part was us kids were calm, it was the teachers and parents freaking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organized Chaos Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 When I went to Florida, we apparently passed a hurricane but I was asleep during the time . Nothing besides that. England just usually has enough rain to ruin a picnic or tempatures that beat Egypt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vairocana Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 There was once a tornado watch on my campus, and a bunch of the RAs in various dorms had to rouse the students and move them into the basements, which were flooding. Either my RA doesn't care, or....yeah, probably my RA just didn't care. I slept through it and then laughed at all the people who had to sit in ankle deep water at 3 in the morning.

Christian Exodia Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 We had this storm a couple weeks ago. We had a Math test I didn't study for (Got a B on it.) They said stay in the rooms until they called it. It was safe to go ONE minute BEFORE dismissal to Math class. We were all flipping out. Besides that, I live on the very edge of Tornado Valley, and I haven't had anything within a 10 mile radius of any, and I MEAN any, of the areas I have ever inhabited since Hugo. It flooded when I was a baby, but we got to a high hill before any damage could happen to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sage Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Tropical climate is needed for a tornado to start, so we're just getting smaller storms up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although once when I was walking home from school I saw a small dust tornado appear over by my neighbors place.

Poc Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 i live in the "tornado alley" of canada so i get few tornadoes every year around my area. its mostly open farmland so they rarely do any real damage. although a few years ago one cut right through one of the main streets of my town and passed infront of my house. it was pretty surreal waking up at 4 am and looking outside, all i could see was a green mist and downed trees everywhere. ive also seen a couple big tornadoes when i was traveling around the soulthern states in the US. shits scary yo.

The UK has more Tornados per square metre than the US (my Geography teacher a few year back). I don't know how I'd react to being in a tornado, closet I got was a 24 hour Thunderstorm when I was in Florida about 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Amazing Avian Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I live close enough to the Gulf of Mexico for one of last year's hurricanes to have done some damage to the school. It wasn't too serious, but you have to admit its not normal to see an uprooted tree rammed through the plexiglass window of the fine arts building.

Greiga Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Worst thing I got in Boston was this one week blizzard some odd 7-8 years ago, and the groundshaking earthquake last year. If I saw a tornado, I would chase it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And anyway, I've never seen a tornado but I bet it's pretty nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
