I can only imagine Ray; we had one touch down and luckily blow itself out in a field next to our house and the only thing I really remember was a deathly silence and then thundering noise immediately (and thankfully) followed by silence again... I have to add that being new to the US, I was just sat on the porch wondering wtf the sirens were going off for... DUH! That was life changing enough for me! I can't imagine living through one having seen the trails of mass devastation they leave.

Keep thinking positive mate!
