Yes - you hear the wind! It sounds like a freight train passing overhead. Frightening. The sound was
terrible on Monday. At night these days we have radar. The meteorologist have a picnic, each tv station
trying to outdo the next. They trace it down to the point where they tell which neighborhood and
people living on what streets when to hit the shelters. I was in my basement, when it passedover.
Of course the radar is only effective as it comes, the tornado does not respect the radar, and can
change immediately.
The worst we had here was in 1975 (tho' the 1913 one killed over 150)killing 4, one was a dummy standing
on his roof watching it. The tornado swept thru ripping off one side of a hospital, roof off a high
school, leveled three elementary schools. Cars found miles away. Screen from a drive-in movie never
found, undoubtedly shredded. Etc. Very frightening
