You're much braver than I am. See, tornadies scare the bejeezus out of those of us that are not used to them.

They are fascinating to watch. So much power. When we were kids dust devils were common where we grew up, we used to run out and try to get in the middle of one when we saw it. I'm not about to do that with a tornado, but they are fun to watch. Especially water spouts, the funnel is more distinct.

I grew up with them here in Minnesota, so I'm used to them, and they still scare the bejeezus out of me too!

When I moved away from MN, it took me AT LEAST 5-6 years to stop having regular nightmares about them. I've been through 2 of them and they are easily one of my biggest fears.

Though I will also agree with this. As scared of them as I am, I'm also fascinated by them. They are amazing.
