Any good tornado stories?

We're talking real life experiences here. While it's fun to watch disaster films with tornadoes, sometimes the truth can literally be stranger than fiction. I'll tell a few to start:

Story 1: Mom and I were visiting my older half-brother's family in northern Texas the mid-90s, and we were all in the same car, driving to the restaurant. The sky turned green, and it started hailing. We stopped under an overpass to get out of the hail, and we noticed a bunch of other cars were under there too. We then saw a dust cloud forming out in front of the overpass. One of the cars, a red hot-rod car, got impatient and screeched out in from under, saw the twister, and backed in under with the rest of us. The dust cloud got bigger, complete with a faint roar, and then it went off to the right of the overpass and disappeared. We all waited for a few minutes, and then drove [cautiously] on to the restaurant. It was really scary, I'll tell you. Later that evening, we saw the tornado on the news, and it looked like a skinny white F-0.

Story 2: When my brother and I were really little, dad was taking care of us in the evenings while mom went to night classes at college. One evening, he was bathing us in separate bathrooms, because we had been fighting too much when sharing tubs, and he happened to pass the window in the guest room. There was a nasty storm going on at the time, (it was early summer) and he saw what looked like a "broccoli stalk" heading off to the north. So, he wrapped us up in towels, grabbed a flashlight and radio, and took us to the basement, pronto. Quite a feat for one dad and two rowdy kids. I'm pleased to report the tornado didn't hit us.

Story 3: My uncle lived in Oklahoma for many years, and I heard a story about how one time, two different tornadoes were whirling around his house while he was talking on the phone with a relative, and telling her about it.

Story 4: My mom knew someone who saw a tornado when she was in college. She was in the dorm, way up on one of the higher floors, was doing her homework and studying in the middle of the storm....when she saw a car fly past her window. It's not often you see a car go airborne, so she freaked and went to hide in the dorm basement.

Story 5: In 2013, a really strong storm came over our town in Illinois, and dropped an F-4 on a smaller town to the southwest of us. My brother and I were home while our parents were at work. We didn't really pay much attention to the storm until the lights started flickering, and the neighbor's lawn furniture went airborne. We hid in the basement, but peeked up through the one window well, and saw the clouds rotating, which was a bad sign, because tornadoes usually touch down when the clouds rotate. My brother and I prayed for protection, and the clouds suddenly stopped rotating, which I consider a miracle.

So living in the Midwest and Texas has been quite an adventure in the storm dept.
