Prince Firemane 309 April 15, 2015 Share April 15, 2015 Hell. Yes. Tornadoes terrify me. I grew up in the heart of Texas and they were always a regular summer threat. But, I can also recognize the impending signs as well and as such, I've always had a meteorological fascination with them. They're always a source of rational awareness and fear even for those who have never seen one. However, it's completely different when you see the damage for yourself, you develop a kind of respect for their power. Even though I've had to do the "duck and cover in the center of your house" drill my entire childhood, the first time I ever saw the true power of one was when our neighboring town was devastated by an F5 tornado which remains one of the worst tornado disasters in Texas history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeryFox 23,821 April 15, 2015 Share April 15, 2015 Tornadoes are very scary. I am scared of them - to a degree only. Sōten ni zase...Hyōrinmaru! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hocus Pocus 636 April 15, 2015 Share April 15, 2015 yup :/ Living in the midwest, we usually get at least one tornado warning a year. Just about a week ago, an entire town up north in my state was leveled, two people died, and countless others were injured. It was a small town, but now anybody that lived there has absolutely nothing. Everything they owned was destroyed, and since it was a small town, I'm pretty sure it's safe to assume that those two deaths were felt across their community. It's a tragedy what happened, and it's one of the many reasons why I want to move away from here some day. 2 ~Hocus Pocus Ya weni mareh mirekyarahireJuri yu mirekerason Kire hyari yoriherahe nyuraheraNunnyura unera yurawera nihmerani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Note 2,748 April 15, 2015 Share April 15, 2015 Yes, and for a very good reason: They're unpredictable, and if you live in "tornado alley" in the United States (which I do), you should be afraid of them. (coming soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a tragedy what happened, and it's one of the many reasons why I want to move away from here some day. I'm from the mid-west myself. I know how you feel. I am in the part of Illinois that ends up in tornado alley during the summer season. It's not fun, but it is neat to watch. I understand if you want to get away from the severe weather but if you want the truth, no matter where you go, tornadoes can still happen. If you are outside Tornado Alley, there are less tornadoes sure, but very few places get zero tornadoes all together. "Love and Hate are two different sides of the same coin.

Admiral Regulus 2,769 April 15, 2015 Share April 15, 2015 Yes, I'm scared of them. Tornadoes, spiders, and idiots with guns are my three biggest fears. Funny thing, though, because I love thunderstorms, and hurricanes are cool with me. 1 Tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smix 421 April 15, 2015 Share April 15, 2015 I think they are pretty cool to look at... I live in kentucky... And I have never experienced a tornado personally. (there have been many around) I think I would be fine if... -It was during the day -It was at least a mile away and moving in the opposite direction.

Lucky Bolt 35,063 November 20, 2019 Share November 20, 2019 I am both terrified and fascinated by them at the same time. They have my respect. 1 ☆ My socials ☆ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Early Sunsets 2,107 November 20, 2019 Share November 20, 2019 Yes. Anything that can rip a house off of the ground and tear it apart before flinging the pieces hundreds of yards away terrifies me. I'll stick to living in the mountains, thank you.

Dreambiscuit 9,819 November 23, 2019 Share November 23, 2019 You’d have to be off your rocker NOT to be scared of tornadoes! They may be beautiful from a great distance, but they are terrifying, destructive monstrosities. I’ve seen what they can do up close and it’s a sobering experience, even with the smaller ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritzy 1,691 November 23, 2019 Share November 23, 2019 Yes. Not just because of their destructive nature n all but because they could easily trigger my acrophobia if I got sucked into one. Tumblr Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oblivion 20,266 November 25, 2019 Share November 25, 2019 Living in the midwest, you're damn right im scared of tornados!

IronM17 5,387 November 25, 2019 Share November 25, 2019 I would not say scared, I would more say I have respect for them. Ok, when I am directly in front of a tornado, then I would be definitelly scared, but this situation is for me here in western germany more impossible. I mean, we have Tornados in germany, my village was hit by one in 2000 (it was one of the two defining moments in my life where my interest into natural science grown even I only experienced the thudnerstorm and not the tornado), but these are usually small tornados.

EpicEnergy 23,218 November 30, 2019 Share November 30, 2019 I used to be terrified by them as a kid, but now I'm not that scared of them anymore. Occassionally, I still have nightmares about them though. *totally not up to any shenanigans* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clawdeen 14,228 June 12, 2021 Share June 12, 2021 Absolutely. Ever since I watched Twister as a kid I’ve been scared of them. Plagued my dreams to this day too. I also saw the damage in one of the nearby towns of when a tornado went through over a year ago it was sad and pretty scary. Even more so is that I went through there about a month ago and everything still looks in bad shape. 2 *You're a THIRD rate duelist with a FOURTH rate deck!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreambiscuit 9,819 June 13, 2021 Share June 13, 2021 You'd have to be insane or heavily sedated to be unafraid of tornadoes. I don't even like to watch them on TV. And encountering them in person is another matter entirely. Seriously scary!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DixonTheAdversary 1,632 June 14, 2021 Share June 14, 2021 I've never experienced one, but just the prospect of potential housing damage and losing everything is a scary thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shigaraki 270 June 14, 2021 Share June 14, 2021 Where we live we don't get them but we can get them in other parts of the state we live in because all the fields but that's far from us. Usually the tornadoes pass by without the actual tornado, like just the wind if you know what l mean. So l don't know if l'm scared of them or not because l never seen one in person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExplosionMare 18,063 June 15, 2021 Share June 15, 2021 I am a bit scared of them just because I know they can damage a lot of things very easily and people can get caught up in them if they’re nearby Boom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patty Thundersnow 4,164 June 15, 2021 Share June 15, 2021 (edited) Ever since December 1st, 2018, I have been terrified of them... particularly when they are around my hometown. Before that, still was pretty scared of them. Edited June 15, 2021 by Gabe Gooding "Never give up, because you can't succeed if you don't even try." - Personal Motto "Anything worth doing has risks.

Astralshy 26,756 June 15, 2021 Share June 15, 2021 There are storms where I live, but rarely Tornadoes. So I'm lucky enough to never had a personal encounter with them. Still Tornadoes hold great destructive power, so I at least have a great respect of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
