I remember as a kid in northern Wisconsin, a tornado went through part of the then Menominee Indian Reservation (now Menominee county) about 10-15 miles south of where I was staying. We went down to see what the damage was like. Came upon the path of the tornado. It looked like a giant lawn mower about 100 yds wide had just meandered off on it's own and shaved a winding path thru the forest down to ground level. Awesome sight for 8-10 year old kids. Chas ps. The first earthquake I felt was in Burlington Iowa in 1943 or 44. And the second was in So. Illinois in 1969. I was ready for California long before I actually got there.

The one that hit Fort Worth a couple years ago, did quite a bit of damage. One skyscraper (the Bank One Tower) was abandoned as too far gone to repair, and is still sitting empty, and the Cash America Building had to be torn down, among other buildings. kenkuhl.com so I bet a good tornado could sure tear up some B'52s if struck!!
