I'm just glad you got ahead of the storms and are safe. We see tornadoes on video, but have never had a first-hand experience with one. After your tale, I hope we never do.
Yikes - I remember all too well the air-raid sirens going off during tornado warnings in mid-Alabama. Whenever I have nightmares, it's a 1:2 shot that they'll be about tornados. Glad y'all are okay.
As a sidenote, because I lived in Alabama's tornado-prone area for so many years, I get really bugged when people use tornado "watches" and "warnings" interchangably - only "warning" means one's been sighted and to take cover. In recent years when someone's told me we're under a tornado warning, I'll ask where it was sighted and say we'd better take cover. They'll reply that there haven't been any sighted but they could develop; I'll then ask "So are we under a tornado watch or a tornado warning?" they'll either backtrack to say "watch" or be genuinely confused. I wish the broadcasters would make the difference clearer so as not to panic people.
