Ok well, I was at my gf's house when those really really black clouds came out of nowhere. It was covering the whole sky. Thunder started pounding like crazy, every two seconds or so. I decided to leave before things got worse. Well, on the way home, rain started pouring heavily and the road was gridlocked half the way home because some traffic lights went out. An hour later, I got home and got sh* from my parents for being out in this weather... as if I knew it was coming. Lol, my dad was like "Didn't you check the weather network!!??"
Apparently, there's a tornado with winds of 120 km/h (that's 74.5645431 mph, yay Google!!) coming, so if I would have stayed any longer, god knows what could have happened. Anyways, just wanted to tell my story.
Oh, this is in Toronto, Ontario if you're wondering.

 

That is not that bad of a tornado. Some tornado's have had winds clocked at over 275/300mph(480ish kph)

 

Yeah, I made a little research and it's just an F1 tornado, meaning it's not gonna do much damage. It's just weird because tornados are pretty rare around here...
Oh man, this sets the perfect mood for some GT4 .

 

I was driving across the country from Idaho to here and in Nebraska I seen a F3 tornado around 20/30 miles away and then like 45 minutes earlier seen a F4 t about the same distance. pretty cool when you dont feel as if you are in direct danger.

 

im definatly not scared of tornadoes...

if something comen down from the sky wants to get ya then its gonna get ya.... thiers some final destination S*** for ya


my dad always freaks over warnings and crap!
last time they had a tornado touchdown 1/2hour from my house and comen our way HIS DUMB @SS wants to get in the car and try to drive away from it.... saying HIS TRAINING told him to get outta the way of the storm....... OMFG...... when the hell did someone tell him being in a vehicle was safer then being inside a house????????

i was about to smack the crap outta him!!!!!!! but he is so hardheaded sometimes and me and my mom was just like F it he is stupid just do it and have him shut up!

and wouldnt ya know it... 5min down the road he starts driving thru some preaty hard HAIL... when his suburban coulda been parked in the garage away from damage..... and then after driving so far... well not very far maybe 15min away he ends up parking under a bank drive thru teller booth and waits for the hail to pass and goes back home....
I WAS SO PISSED!!!!!!!


the chances of geting his by a tornado arent that high........ worst thing in my 26years of living here worst weve had is wind damage Fen up the trees around the yard!
but if ya live in a trailerpark...... i dont know thiers a target on your @ss or something.LOL

+1on peg, glad you are safe and at home and all that.

 

I got stuck in a F3 in AR, driving from GA to OK. Growing up in OK I know how serious tornados are. My parents called me up. I was pulled over at the time because it was raining so hard, visibility was zero and I had almost hit two cars. I told my mom where I was and she said it didn't look good. She and my father were watching radar online and telling me where everything was. I had been there a minute, looking to the north to see if it had passed me already. It was pitch black so I had to wait for lighting to strike and light up the sky. No sign of it. However, the sky to the south of me wouldn't light up. It was just pitch black. I knew it was out there. My mother told me to gun it, and I did. Where other cars were driving no more than 20mph, I was going 80. Luckily there was little traffic because most people had pulled over. As I drove along, more lines of storms collapsed behind me. It took about 30 minutes to get clear of them all. I had come to find out, several people had died on that interstate (I40). I remembered being pulled over in that shoulder, looking at the other cars around me there before I took off. I knew it was them who died.
