Re: Has Anyone Actually Been IN / NEAR A Tornado?
Yup. As a kid, was staying with my aunt in Miami. It went right down the steet. It hit houses on one side, but not the other. Also, hit an animal hospital and destroyed it. Was also in Wisconsin. It hit a town right near by, Barneveld, Wisconsin. I flew in a helicopter with a deputy to survey the damage. It wiped the place out.

Re: Has Anyone Actually Been IN / NEAR A Tornado?
This thread reminded me of a cool video I watched a bit ago. It's impressive what these guys do! Not exactly a tornado, but still relevant.

Re: Has Anyone Actually Been IN / NEAR A Tornado?
This thread is an excellent chance for me to get an answer to a question that's bugged me for ages ...
How do the Americans on here pronounce tornado? Tor_nay_doh or tor_nah_doh ?
I'm sure I've heard it pronounced the first way (tor_nay_doh) just as we say it in the UK. However, I always remember Norman Schwarzkopf thanking the British Tor_nah_doh pilots after the first Gulf War and heard another army-type on a recent Discovery Channel documentary pronounce it that way too.
My question is why, if the weather event is indeed a Tor_nay_doh, would you pronounce the British fighter jet Tor_nay_doh ?
