The place I grew up is right here, where my family and friends all became familiar with the underside of interstate overpasses. Which is a tornado myth, by the way. Opening the windows won t save your house either. And you don t always see a funnel. The worst was in 1925 started in Missouri, stayed on the ground through Illinois and left the ground in Indiana after killing 695 people.
Tornados are awful, frightening and yet fascinating.
The tornado project has stories, photos and links to other sites that will satisfy your curiosity about these incredible clouds and either give you a healthy outlook on the power of nature or encourage you to move to Alaska.
