I hollered for someone to get the building off of me but no one answered.I wiped the blood from my eyes and saw a 1965 Pontiac Catalina next to me. It was the absolute most frightening experience I have ever been through. It was like a war zone.The Tornado was an EF3 with sustained winds of 140 mph and it was 1300 yards wide at its base. I lived in a apartment in a house with a double wall, a sound proof wall that separated my apartment from my neighbors. Last year several Tornados swept through the area the night of 10/20/2019. She ran and dove into the pews while the tornado moved and twisted the church off its foundation.
Water rose, and homes that you never would have expected to flood did. Then I was hit with a force I can’t describe and felt myself being lifted into the air traveling backwards at what seemed like 100 mph. A thousand thoughts went through my mind and I just knew I was dead. None.
She asked about damage and I told her that I didn’t hear any glass breaking, or movement upstairs which was a good thing. Our neighbors to the north reported hail went through their roof and embedded in their hardwood floor. So we all went out front and encountered multiple neighbors and their children doing the same. In the later part of March 1982, I was on spring break and home by myself that whole week. She went on to live a good dog life and died of old age. The noises I heard during the tornado hit was indescribable.
Most of the tree damage in the neighborhood had the same orientation. After hearing the alert, I had walked outside.
He grabbed his little daughter under his arm and bolted to his house. I flipped when she wasn't out there after the storm. I remember looking out the window expecting to see another tornado any minute. After my father got pulled out with the help of everyone that was around, someone performed CPR but there was no saving his life. Apparently the tornado was skipping thru town rather than taking a continuous path and jumped right over my street but destroyed houses and businesses just 2-3 blocks in either direction. I thought, oh great, I survived being sucked up into the air in a tornado, now I’m gonna be crushed to death!
Reception was cutting in and out as cell towers were apparently being disabled, with calls being picked up on other towers by the tornado while we talked. I wrapped up the game for the night when my sister’s friend informed us of a tornado warning. In the frenzy of taking cover, we forgot about my dog in the backyard. O n April … That is 13 football fields wide. I looked up and saw the 16 ft garage door bowing inward from the wind. My dad and my uncles yelled from the front porch to get into the basement because the tornado was "coming over the mountain. It leveled several of the brick homes in that neighborhood. We watched, and it was obvious to me that the rotation on the storm was very strong and I mentioned that to Terry about a half minute before WHIO said the exact same thing. I put on my rubber knee boots and we both went outside to check on external damage. Seemed like an eternity.I had gone to the local Little Caesar Pizza place at the halftime of the Dallas Cowboy Philadelphia Eagle game tp get a pizza for the game. My first thought was why is that car in the bathroom with me. They were standing outside while sirens were going off looking at the green skies when things got unusually calm and quiet. I survived bruised from head to toe with a broken foot and some lacerations. There was none. Neighborhoods left unrecognizable with homes turned into a piles of rubble or an empty slabs are a sobering sight each year.Considering typical severe thunderstorm wind gusts from 60-70 mph are capable of structural damage, it's not surprising wind speeds of 150 mph or higher in stronger tornadoes are capable of incredible, and incredibly strange damage.In strong tornadoes, it's not just the wind that is damaging, but also wind-lofted debris such as wall studs and tree branches, that can become projectiles, puncturing buildings, vehicles, basically anything that gets in their way.Speaking of which, a typical 2-ton vehicle is little obstacle for a tornado's violent winds.The strongest tornadoes, and their debris fields, can also scour the ground, sometimes to a depth of a couple of feet, leaving a swath of bare soil behind.We recognize our responsibility to use data and technology for good. I was visiting my parents, 7 miles southeast of Parker, Colorado, while my husband (USMC) was overseas. I am lucky to be alive for sure. And she said "because it's a tornado."
He loves weather as I do and can tell you how any storm happens, hurricanes.. tornados..floods..smart little feller he is.Living in “Dixie Alley” we get lots of storms.
We didn’t get hit but poor Alabama got wrecked. I couldn't walk. Then the wind started howling. My friend’s dad ran out from the bedroom, and slammed the door and asked if we were alright. It had a base of about 75 to a hundred yards across.On April 24, 2019, I was in my shop at 6964 Coyote Run, Bryan, TX, working on a Volkswagon engine. Fortunately the only issues we had were loss of power for a few days and my children’s school, Cathedral High School was destroyed. You could see the roof of the lady down the street just spinning in the tornado and I really thought we would all die. The flooding part though was caused by the buildup of hailstones over the street drains, blocking the escape of water from heavy rains. WTVA Chief Meteorologist Matt Laubhan said the storm was coming to Smithville and I just stood there watching, waiting, looking at the TV and thinking this isn't gonna happen. I said I thought it was safe now. This now is our storm.
A moment later, just like that, all around me was wind and it got real dark. They huddled in two groups, in the southwest and southeast corners of the building, and fearfully watched the 30 foot south wall of the home's family room stretching out between them, flex and wobble with the blast of the storm. Beyond horrifying. Then it felt like the house exploded. As the debris fell onto me, I fought and pushed and shoved anything that landed on me trying to get whatever landed on me off. When I pulled in the driveway, my house was green!
They hadn't seen any storms on their maps and clearly thought me demented.I called my brother who lived nearby.
