I hate hate tornadoes, too, but unfortunately we live in the twister zone. I’ve seen one close-up with my eyes when I lived on the farm. My dad drug us kids OUT TO SEE IT! Yup! Anyway, I’ve seen major major destruction from those here in Illinois. But I am thankful to say I have never experienced one first-hand. And Im thankful for that! I’m sorry for your experience but I’m glad everyone is okay.

Well I’m glad everyone is ok. I live in tornado alley and it is NOT fun. I am horribly afraid of tornadoes. I’ve been in one - it touched down across the street from us, in the golf course, came right at us, jumped over our place, and hit the place behind us.

Ridiculously scary.

And on that note…LOL…I hope you have a good day!

God bless

That does sound so scary. I’m not a big fan of those types of storms myself. I’m glad everything is okay now. I pray you and yours stay safe.

I know what you mean…I live in an area where tornadoes are common in the spring. there have been so many touch downs all around me, but, never where I am, thankfully. You are lucky you have Jer..always better safe then sorry…that’s my motto!

I’m happy to hear everyone is ok. It can be pretty scary when things happen that we have no control over. Good going getting you and your family into the basement. And PRAISE GOD that he took such good care of all of you!

I'm glad you're all okay and that you trusted your instincts and ran your family to the basement even before you really knew there was actually anything wrong.

I love storms, even the scary ones, because the power is absolutely incredible. If wind and weather can do so much, imagine how much more powerful God is -- HE CONTROLS THE WIND!!
