for 12 years. We were in the basement a lot. It wasn't until we moved to North Carolina that I experienced a tornado going right over head. They really do sound like a freight train. We were in a large auditorium in downtown Raleigh for an afternoon performance of the ballet. Performance stopped. Announcement made from the stage. We were all kept inside until the all clear. Trees down everywhere when we went outside. Fortunately, nothing on my car parked in an open lot.
Hope you are safe!
