I watched cinder blocks and bricks swirl in the air like feathers on my way to take shelter.

Not as damaging, obviously, but much more difficult. I will never understand those who go outside and rubberneck at tornados.
I hide.

(34,368 posts)4. When we had our big tornado
my Grandma had just mowed her lawn. The grass blades were driven into the siding of the house, some went straight in sticking straight out. Her huge backyard tree that it took two adults to reach around (or so I have been told, I remember it but not that) was broken in half and laid down in the back yard crushing the neighbors shed and swing set. They do crazy things. I have seen boards sticking out of houses before. Crazy things. Scary things. I feel really sorry for them.
