Tornado sweeps under house

Crazy! The house next door almost got sucked away but the golf cart 15ft away didn’t flinch!

That's normal for tornadoes, one house gone, the next is fine. Tornadoes on the news and in movies are big deals, and they are. But living in Kansas and Oklahoma, you get desensitized to them. The sirens go off and people climb on their rooftops to watch them. I've mentioned this before, but if a tornado hits an area once, it WILL hit that area again. My dad tells the Oklahoma story of a family that lost their house three times. The last one, the wife recognized her wallpaper in a ditch before they got home.

Oklahoma Mothership.

Those pics look menacingly scary.

That really blows!

Imagine you get evacuated for your safety, then return to see your house still sort of where it is supposed to be but.....
The roof is gone. THEN your neighbor shows you the recording where the house almost blew away but fell back down almost in the same position but without the roof.
THAT is some wacky stuff, man...

We get some crappy weather from November until now.
But you can go get your mail without dying pretty much anytime.

I was outside playing as a child when the one f5 hit xenia ohio in 1974. I never got over it. Destroyed everything. Went to school 2nd shift after that. High-school went first shift. Unreal the things we saw because of it.

Tornado damage is very centrally concentrated. Been to scenes where houses destroyed to bits next to others unscathed.

We had an F4 tornado hit in my hometown of Edmonton, Canada in 1987. It was a monster that killed 27 people. There are some good documentaries about it on YT. I don't think Canada has ever had another tornado that strong. Some claim it might've even been an F5 but Edmonton didn't have the technology back then to measure it.

That sucks,
sure glad I don't live in an area that
gets tornados or hurricanes
(or in a known flood plain)
earthquakes here are bad enough,
but it's pretty, well known near fault areas, been thru a crapload of them
& not just mother nature 'at her willy nilly', like tornados or hurricanes

that's just crazy

Impossible. YouTube wasnt around in 1987. That was before the internet.

I guess cameras hadn't been invented yet, either...
