No, and I don't ever want to see one.

Although, being that I've spent most of my life on the east coast, I have lived through many hurricanes.

I live on the east coast of Canada--tornadoes are EXTREMELY rare hear. My closest friend lives in Tennessee though, and once when I was there there was a warning. I still didn't see one though. Oh, and once when I was visiting my cousins in New York, a tornado went by somewhere nearby (but again, I didn't see it).

Not the same, but I have been in a bunch of Hurricanes as well. One was REALLY bad (not Katrina bad, but really bad for what we are used to here!)

This is from Hurricane Juan back in 2003 (it happened overnight, and my Mom and I think it did spawn a few tornadoes, but there is no record of that anywhere):

That would have been scary if it was your pictures.

I have lots of pictures like this, but they were from my old film camera (and therefore not on the computer). The hurricane ripped the entire deck right off of our house. :(

Living in Texas, * part of Tornado Alley * I seen plently of tornadoes in my time. They're both fascinating, and scary at the same time.

Unless I move, I doubt I'll ever see one. Needless to say I haven't seen one.

One tornado and perhaps 10 waterspouts. I'm happy to say none came my way.

No. A coworker of mine says that when he was in college, you would always know who had grown up in the Midwest and who hadn't, because everyone who had been born in the Midwest would to to the basement. Everyone who hadn't would run out to see the tornado.


8O Everybody with at least a small grain of brain in their skull would run to the closest basement as soon as they saw a tornado coming 8O They can see one in "Twister" if they want to see what it looks like.

My town was hit by one last year! The damage it caused still hasn't been completely fixed. They're wild things to see in person. It was a scary but interesting experience.
