  1. Living in Central Illinois in the main stretch of Tornado Alley I have been around maybe 20 tornados, but was actually hit by one in 1996 in Decatur, Illinois. As cliche as it sounds we lived in an inner city trailer park and it destroyed the majority of the park. My mom was in her trailer and I was on the next street over at my mom's boyfriends partying. Right next to our park was an auto shop with two reinforced buildings next to each other so we jumped the fence and heled on to fence posts for our lives and we were fine, but my mom was in her trailer the whole time and I was freaking out until it was over and then I went over to my mom's trailer and the walls had literally been knocked over like dominos cascading with one another; she had already climbed out at that point. My mom was saved because her bed and dresser held up one of the walls at an angle and she hid underneath, but it gave her what they now call PTSD. If you go this video and watch at 22 : 29 this was my mom (now passed away) and at the same exact time I was probably on my way towards her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfOTBKfVvN4&t=1349s

  2. Not so fun fact: you're not necessarily safe indoors during a thunderstorm. Not sure if lightning is as strong in the UK, but I'm in North Carolina, and my house got a direct hit from a strong lightning bolt during a summer storm. I was doing dishes, and I got shocked by the electricity, through my faucet. Blew me backwards into my trash can. Luckily, I lived.

    I now have a weird heartbeat, and my calf muscle (where it exited) was unusable for several weeks. I got morphine and fentanyl for the pain, and neither drug even touched it at all. Morphine made it so I didn't care anymore, but the pain was still enormous. It's hard to describe.

    And yeah, I'm now afraid of thunderstorms. I couldn't shower at all for over a month just in case a storm rolled in while I was naked.

    Oh, and it fried my dishwasher. So…dishes piled up for a few months. I was truly afraid of faucets. I had to get over it though.

  3. I've live 66 yrs in Alabama. Ive only come truly face to face with one tornado, a smallish one, when I was about 6 yrs old. I watched it go between my grandparents house and my house and launch our barn's roof like a rocket into the woods. But there have been more near misses than I can count. Just this spring one came less than a mile from me and killed a neighbor in his trailer. It was both rain wrapped and nocturnal. I worked for USDA and always had to file damage reports every time there was a large outbreak, so I've seen a lot of destruction in my time.

  4. I've spent my entire life living in tornado alley (either Oklahoma or Texas). I've been within miles of two F5s, and both were terrifying. Typically I'm not that afraid of tornado conditions, unless it's also raining. Rain-wrapped tornadoes are very difficult to see. My storm chasing friends also warn that they are more difficult to hear if you are near a siren while it is going off. However, tornadoes are still relatively rare. They are not a daily, weekly, nor monthly threat. Also, weather prediction has gotten so good that we are often warned days before if weather conditions could be conducive to tornadic weather. I'll take a tornado over an earthquake any day (although we are getting more earthquake activity as of late). Love seeing you react to tornado & weather videos. Great video!

  5. I really like Swegle Studios videos, too. He has some very interesting topics & does his homewor (research).
    This year has had the most tornado warnings for me. I'm in the western suburbs of Chicago. The 1st one was 27/02! Still winter for Pete's sake! It never made it to my house. Then, in early spring we had one that was "radar indicated" but even the news people couldn't figure out that one. Then, on 12/07, Chicagoland was hit with 7-8 tornadoes. I had 2 warnings that day. Two days later, an EF0 when right over my subdivision & kncked down a street light pole across the street from me. It knocked over some decorative trees, noth major, but it was there & gone before I was even notified. That was the scary part. I hope I'm done. We're about to go into our "2nd" tornado season now.
