I find nothing funny about tornadoes. Yes, this video is amusing but I find nothing at all about tornadoes. It's terrifying laying in the bed in the middle of the night listening to one pass over your house. That, my friends, has happened to me before and though it didn't do any damage, it's just the simple fact of knowing that it's the middle of the night and that a tornado, a roaring, hissing, twirling elephant trunk that you can't see but know that is there, passes over the top of your house. The tornado warning was out, my city was in direct path of the approaching tornado, all while I was asleep. My parents came in the room and woke me and as I rose out of my bed, I heard that unmistakeable roar. It sounded like a jet plane flying over at a low altitude but much deeper and much louder. It took nearly a full minute of roaring before it was gone. As I said, no damage was done, but the damage was done to me mentally and emotionally. I'm 19 years old and I'm still jumpy when I go to bed and I hear a thunderstorm approaching. It's a horrifying experience when you're 13 years old. That's a night I will never forget. I don't want this to get off topic at all. But, making fun of a tornado, that's going a little far.
