Seek shelter if you want to live, when a tornado touches down. Swirling, spinning winds launch debris that's strewn through the air like shrapnel. When whirling winds out-roar a train, seek shelter if you want to live. Spiraling down from pitch-black clouds an ebony scythe cuts a track. Every building is torn apart and flattened beyond description. Seek shelter if you want to live; Mother Nature doesn't know mercy. Storms are beyond mortal control, and tornados are proof of that. Upon that realization, seek shelter if you want to live.

Indeed seek shelter where you can. One time I was outside during a cat 1 tornado. I wasn't expecting this on my walk in Virginia Beach. The day before a boy took a full size shovel and hit his brother in the face. My sis in law and I witnessed it. We were back to see how he was when the storm kicked up. We got the message..stay away from there…spooky!
