[QUOTE=Hampants;21805463]He got back online from his labtop. Apparently the tornado destroyed his house and he only survived by hiding in the bathtub with a mattress over his head. I dunno how his labtop survived.[/QUOTE] Either he is a major troll or that really fucking sucks for him.
We had some serious warnings the other day here in Georgia. But nothing ever happened, we just flood now :geno:
I live in Cincinnati, which is really close to all three of those areas. Just got finished watching the late night weather, and trust me. There was no tornado or they, and us, would of been put on a warning and not a watch. We were on a watch too, but only until 11 like that website said. Sorry, it was just a bad joke.

What is a labtop? Do you put it on a lab? [editline]10:01PM[/editline] [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=935209[/url] Here this will help!
[QUOTE=Hampants;21805463]He got back online from his labtop. Apparently the tornado destroyed his house and he only survived by hiding in the bathtub with a mattress over his head. I dunno how his labtop survived.[/QUOTE] Fair enough. I know the first thing I would do if my house was destroyed by a tornado and I barely survived would be to grab my labtop and tell my friends about it.

But seriously, Hampants. He is on his laptop, with full internet coverage, but yet his house was just left in ruin by a tornado? Where does that make sense? Oh, he might have one of those Verizon internet USB drives. Because those are the first two things somebody grabs when there's a fucking tornado knocking at your door?

[QUOTE=MagicBurrito;21807733]I hope you guys notice that this isnt the OP, and that he wouldnt have internet if a tornado just sucked his house away[/QUOTE] Actually, that is the OP. The story sounds fishy. If his area was under a tornado watch, he wouldn't have been able to have seen a tornado two miles away. If he had, he would have been under a tornado warning. Tornado watch just means the weather conditions are favorable for tornadoes to form. Sure, the watch could have been upgraded to a warning, his house get destroyed, his laptop survived, and he's sitting at someplace with wifi.
He's just fucking with you. First of all, if he saw the funnel, they don't just sit stationary. They are almost constantly moving, especially with as fast as the storms were moving yesterday. Not to mention the only tornado warning there was anywhere in Ohio or Indiana was South of Toledo, which is a good ways away from Indiana. To finish off my post, I bring you today's storm reports. If there had been any tornadoes, the SPC (Storm Prediction Center) reports it on their website with this map, in the form of red dots, plus text below stating what kind of report.

[QUOTE=wonkadonk;21801640]I was killed by a tornado once. It hurt :([/QUOTE] yeah i hate when that happens
[QUOTE=nick10510;21802332]When I see a tornado no matter it be in real life or in a picture, I feel like I have a a hole in my heart.. don't know why. Guess its like shivering but.. different.[/QUOTE] [img]http://www.australiangamer.com/images/stuff/Green_0020_Tick.jpg[/img]
Meh, he should be fine.
Tornado Watch =/= Tornado Warning Watch - Tornado might hop on down Warning - Tornado has been spotted on the ground. Considering it was a Tornado Watch your friend is a terrible liar.
[QUOTE=Hampants;21805463]He got back online from his labtop. Apparently the tornado destroyed his house and he only survived by hiding in the bathtub with a mattress over his head. I dunno how his labtop survived.[/QUOTE] Wow i believe this
I do too
[QUOTE=Mikhail;21812536]Warning - Tornado has been spotted on the ground. [/QUOTE] Actually, the NWS with issue a warning if they detect low level rotation with the velocities on radar, or the sighting of a funnel cloud or rotating wall cloud.
I wonder if tornadoes will ever be smart enough to lay down sideways. They'd cover a much larger area and get the work done in half the time.
[QUOTE=Watevaman;21813120]I wonder if tornadoes will ever be smart enough to lay down sideways. They'd cover a much larger area and get the work done in half the time.[/QUOTE] Tornadoes can lean sideways from time to time, but a big majority never touches the ground. Large wedge tornados are the real dangerous ones. They usually are anywhere from EF-4's to EF-5's and are sometimes up to a mile wide. [img]http://i.imgur.com/fUasH.jpg[/img]

Who would go on the internet after your entire house gets destroyed?
[QUOTE=Identity;21802099][img]http://www.efrontlineplus.com/images/tornado.jpg[/img] Is it just me, or do any of you shudder when you see a tornado?[/QUOTE] I look at a tornado as a monument of power. I like that about it. Like I want to build a house one day strong enough to resist a direct hit by a tornado, and laugh scornfully at the tornado.
It feels like im the only one who sees the whole picture, when you said his house was destroyed. I see my self in that situation, and feels sorry for him. .. when others just makes fun of it.
I'm sure he's fine.
