well i saw my first tornado up close just a little while ago, less than 1/2 mile away in fact. scared me worse than anything else i've ever seen in my life. at least with a damned hurricane you have several days warning, but tornadoes! i was on the way home after looking at a horse when the warning came on. at the same time i looked up at the sky and there it was. i'm home, safe now. going to get rip roaring drunk now.
