Car sucked by tornado - GIF

Oh, this brings back some bad memories. Our neighborhood was hit while I was at work. My kids were in a car that was lifted slightly off the road in front of our house. Fortunately, they were not physically harmed. The home behind ours had its side wall buckle. And this, my friends, is why we now live in Arizona!

So you're not in Kansas anymore?

Actually, it was in Wheaton, Illinois. Until you live through a tornado, you have no idea of the power of the wind. As the second video points out - it isn't the wind you should fear, it is what is carried in the wind. I saw a 2x4 go axially through a tree to a depth of many feet.
