[QUOTE="WhymeMom?, post: 163243, member: 53"] On the news, after they announce a tornado warning, now they have started saying please find a place of safety and send us your pictures AFTER the danger has passed......just too many people like me who would be trying to see the funnel cloud. At least I have stopped myself from running outside. As a kid we had a tornado pass through our small town and the school let the kids go home.....most of us walked home, I had my bike and started riding for home.....my mom found me halfway home with the car and said, "Just leave the bike....." I said, "No way", so shoved the bike in the back of the station wagon and drove home quickly......By the time we got home the wind was over, but I can still remember running my hands through my hair and just getting handfuls of sand, dirt...... I was too young and stupid to be afraid, but more awed by the power of the wind. A girl was hit by a falling tree and died and you can believe the school heard from the parents for letting kids go out in that. Their answer was to gather everyone in the gym---largest roof surface???? Needless to say advancements have been made since then......well except for us fools who want to see what happens...... Glad you are safe and living in the midwest is why I have always lived in a house with a basement and try to find walkout basement so I can still see......then run for cover....... [/QUOTE]
