Yeah, all the time. The real thing is scary, it usually has a different tone.

Last summer, my Dad and I were out walking home in the late afternoon. There had been a chance of thunderstorms all day and they all seemed to miss us. We started debating about whether we would see any more storms before the sun went down or not. I happened to think that we could see another, as there was a large thunderhead off to the northwest. We got home, looked at the radar and it was a tiny little thing moving toward us, but about 20 miles away at that moment.
    We sat down to eat dinner and the TV in the other room started blasting the warning noise and we all froze. One of those pre-recorded voices came on stating "A tornado warning has been issued for Northern Worcester County. Included are the cities of.....etc. Please seek shelter immediately". The storm ended up just exploding into life and it showed on the radar. It was so intense that you could feel the intake of warm air rushing by you getting sucked into the storm.

I was at a farm once, was called over there to work on a brake system....This front hit in like just a few minutes.  I went outside the barn, and the afternoon sky was all Purple and dark, and I was in a flat place in the cornfields with a HUGE view of the sky.  I figured a Tornado was in the works, but didn't see on Funnel Cloud, although I could see rotation.  The dude had us come in his house, he had a big widescreen there, it was blaring warnings and the thing was near on top of us.  It passed over and spawned a Tornado several miles away.  Guess thats the closest I came to seeing one around here.

Last summer when the story I just told happened, we had tornadic storms just about every day that week. It was almost becoming part of everyday life to hide out in the basement. We've had a few times like that where we have numerous tornado threats all in one season or in that case a week.

We don't really get those types of disasters around here. It was a few decades ago when the last tornado or hurricane went through here. The worst I've had yet was some flooding.

The closer you live to the ocean, the less likely it becomes that you will see a tornado. Often times the cooler ocean air will destroy a strong thunderstorm.

We've had mini tornadoes where I am. It'll destroy like one little random building in some town. But I don't think there's been one in like 20 years.

The worst tornado to strike this area was in 1953, It was an F5 tornado, the strongest rating one can have. It was about a mile wide an destroyed much of the city of Worcester. My college was actually ripped apart by it.

The one we had a long time ago, destroyed this horrible restaurant that I hate. But then they re-built it! I'm so mad! There's a reason why this was the only place wrecked!
