When we were living in our last house we were hit by a tornado - twice. Needless to say, I'm glad we moved!
The first time was the worst. We had a closet under our stairs (which were in the center of the house) so we went in there with both our pets. It was tremendously loud and we heard stuff bouncing on the stairs above us. It was terrifying and we didn't know what would be left of the house once we opened the door. Miraculously, it wasn't as horrible as we imagined - a small bit of the roof had been torn away and what we'd heard was hail bouncing down the stairs!!
The second time wasn't bad and we weren't even home. Just a downed fence and a broken window.
