I've experienced tornadoes up close and personal on two occasions. Once was in the small house in St. Jacob. On the way to the basement, I stopped in the kitchen to watch the neighbor's trees twisting across the alley, and could feel the walls moving. That one only skipped over the town with little damage, but destroyed some barns outside of town. The other time in '06 The (future) Wife and I drove into the back end of one on our way into Highland to pick up dinner. Those were sights and sounds you never forget; things flapping sideways, chunks of a church roof bouncing off my minivan, and power lines dropping in the road in front of us. The noise was incredible. That EF1 did a fair amount of damage to Highland.
