A Tornado by my house

[1epic1]

I got home from school and i got on the computer to check out whats new and blah blah blah...ok a bad storm was being reported to hit Houston with Hail and minor strong winds, so my practice was cancled and im stuck at home...around 3:30 i hear what i thought to be a plane but the noise didnt go away and it just got louder and louder...next thing i know my house started vibrating and i admit i was getting kinda scared, i go outside and i see the base of the tornado maybe a half-mile away, not a big tornado but one non-the less and it was moving sorta towards me and to the left...after about 4 or 5 minutes after it started it was gone, nobody i have heard yet is hurt..

Had one nearly hit my house 3 years ago. Did some minor damage to the house, but it carried my well house (8 x 10 steel frame building) 185 yards off it's foundation.

you shoulda turned on your tv to your local news station channel right when you got home

Now you need to all the tv stations and have them film you describing what the "to-nader" sounded like

Glad your ok.

I grew up in tornado country as a kid.  It's something you never forget.

[RAIDER14]

and it wasn't that bad of a tornado probaly barely a F1 if the sirens didn't go off

Raider you're exactly right  because an F-1 tornado wouldn't kill anyone and is perfectly safe.

technically it is if your a bathroom or interior room of your home if you are outside find a low ditch

but anything above a F3 and your just basically screwed unless you try to outrun it in your car

Oh well I'll tell that to anyone who's lost a family member to a small harmless tornado.

Do you even know, without research, the first thing about the Fujita scale?  F1 tornadoes are roughly between 75-115 mph winds .

I don't even know why I put forth the effort sometimes.  Nothing has ever proven to be worth it when you open your mouth.

Id be more worried about being impaled then the tornado.

[RAIDER14]

yes I do know what the fugita scale is and how it works it is rare that someone might die in a F1

[Debonair]

F.3 Tornado can own you pretty hard

thats why all the news stations say go to your interior room of your home closet/bathroom and take a matress with you to cover yourself with

[BlueJ1]

Yes, I know. Ive watched tv before.

RAIDER14,
Do you know your posts are barely understandable? Ever hear of a comma? A period? An upper case letter at the beginning of a sentence?
By the way, girls like good grammar.
Probably still wouldn't make much sense but at least they would be readable.
