Altair19, re: >>Saw one about a mile away....sounded like ten trains<< It is amazing to watch a tornado. I've seen several, though usually what you'll see is a funnel cloud that dips out of the sky but never touches the ground. It's hard to take your eyes off of it and head for cover. I remember going out in the yard after the storm - there would be all sorts of debris and bits of pink insulation everywhere. At various times I found a baseball glove, a lawn chair, a book, and a large metal pole lying somewhere in the yard. What's also bizarre is the "hit and miss" destruction you'll see in neighborhoods where the tornado touched down. One house may be ripped to pieces and the house next door doesn't even have a shingle missing. The strangest thing I ever saw was a house about a block away from ours where a tornado had partially lifted the roof off the house, sucked all the drapes and curtains through the space between the roof and the outside walls, then set the roof back down. It looked like a bad decorating idea from "Trading Spaces." Yours in meteorology, C Nelson
