I once drove under a funnel cloud at Mountain Pass, Calif.
We’ve had the skip over our house TWICE. Once in the western ‘burbs of St. Louis (that was a BIG one) and once on the San Francisco Peninsula (that was a small one, but still demolished roofs, sheds, and the high school tennis court fences). Our kids were playing in the back yard yelling “Mom, there’s a tornado” and Mom replied “Yeah, sure, right.” But the kids were right. It ripped roofing and gutters off our neighbor’s house across the street and down one.
