I'm glad that I haven't. I'd probably piss myself in pure fear, especially if it was coming towards my house.

Thankfully I live in Northern Ireland, where the only natural disaster with the ability to tear my home apart is a crowd of angry Orangemen   :autism:

  Here, for your Irish viewing,  :lep:  is a picture of the tornado that struck my city 61 years ago!

Natural disasters? don't  forget the pissheads:P

Seen a mini one a few feet high before, but we don't commonly get bigger ones here in the  UK. That one was more 'cute' than 'pants are now beshitten'

Thats a water cannon not smoke.

I've only seen one from a distance. It wasn't touching the ground but it was still scary. :GA:

My mum drove through a willy-willy (tiny tornado, Australian style). It was summer and we had the windows down. A whole lot of sand, dust and leaves blew into the car. At the time I thought it was fun!

I've seen a tornado created in two plastic bottles joined at the neck. Does that count? :tard:

  That plastic tornado is awesome.  And it's just about the level of danger that you can handle!  :P

I can handle dangerous tornadoes, but I don't want to alarm the other members. :angel:
