On a beautiful day I was home alone with Daniel he was just a few months old, and my DH call me and says, get in the bathroom a tornado is coming right in the middle of our house. I did not panic, but instead of going into the bathroom I sat still in the living room where there was a huge window. We were lucky in did not do any damage to our home, only the screen porch lost a few panels of screen. But the noise is horrible, sounds like a freight train in coming through your home. Don't ever want to go through something like that again. I take a hurricane anytime. #Post#: 26858-------------------------------------------------- Re: QOTD 5-21 By: Barb Date: May 21, 2013, 6:58 am --------------------------------------------------------- No we have done the basement thing a couple times but that was it..... #Post#: 26859-------------------------------------------------- Re: QOTD 5-21 By: Resa Date: May 21, 2013, 7:42 am --------------------------------------------------------- yes, and it was scary. #Post#: 26866-------------------------------------------------- Re: QOTD 5-21 By: maddawg Date: May 21, 2013, 8:22 am --------------------------------------------------------- no tornadoes but we've had a few hurricanes. #Post#: 26867-------------------------------------------------- Re: QOTD 5-21 By: SherrieScraps Date: May 21, 2013, 12:02 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Yes, in 1988 we had a tornado go right by our house. We had just moved in a few months before and I was pregnant with DD#2. It took the siding off the front of the house, some shingles and broke a couple windows. We were lucky. A house 5 doors down was lifted up off the foundation and moved back 10 feet. #Post#: 26871-------------------------------------------------- Re: QOTD 5-21 By: Milie Date: May 21, 2013, 3:09 pm --------------------------------------------------------- We were hit by an F1 in 2005.. trees down.. our gazebo destroyed we had to re-build.. neighbors had holes in their roofs from tree smashing in... #Post#: 26873-------------------------------------------------- Re: QOTD 5-21 By: KikiJames Date: May 21, 2013, 6:55 pm --------------------------------------------------------- No, but there have been several within an hour or less to our house or DH's work place. Too close for comfort, if you ask me. #Post#: 27643-------------------------------------------------- Re: QOTD 5-21 By: Belle Jingle Date: June 12, 2013, 5:59 am --------------------------------------------------------- No, only hurricanes. I've had recurring tornado dreams, though. *****************************************************
