Rarely do we see tornadoes where I am, despite being on a border of tornado alley. Rarely do we see F2 tornadoes when we DO actually get one. However, 2 weeks ago, not one, not 2, but at least 8 tornadoes touched down and wreaked havoc on us. 3 were confirmed to be F2. The possibility of 3 more being confirmed is just unreal. The damage caused by these tornadoes is in the millions of dollars range, and it's not going to be easy for those affect to recover from this. Out of all the tornadoes, there was only 1 fatality, which is absolutely amazing. There could have been more. It's sad.

Well, I live in Italy, I can only hear about the tornado, reading the news of what's happening overseas, or hearing someone like you, who lives in an area where the tornado is unfortunately a very common phenomenon. I can only imagine the damage that a tornado can cause. Indeed it must be a terrible experience!

Storms are frightening and many lives have been lost or ruined due to them. It is especially frightening when storms happen out of the ordinary. One summer when I lived in Louisville, KY we had over a thousand tornadoes touch down in one day.
