I live in Massachusetts and we only had ONE notable tornado---in 1952!(Killed about 250 people)

They still scare me to death!Give me a good old blizzard any day of the week.

Here are pics of one I took in my backyard last September, on a cool 60 degree late afternoon (SE Michigan).

If you look closely you can see the dust plume from the touchdown, and in the last pic you can see it roping-out in its final stage.

I used to be extremely fearful of tornadoes, having been in one, around others etc. Then some Islamic a$$holes flew planes into buildings and it sort of gave me a different perspective on storms.

I still respect them fully, but I'm not as terrified as I once was.

Or maybe I'm just getting old, LOL!
