Yeah, I live in Georgia and we had a couple tornadoes only a few miles from where I live two nights ago. When the power went out we just sat in the living room with candles and read for a while. These guys need to seriously calm down.

^I don't know about that. I grew up in the eastern part of Tornado Alley - Omaha, Nebraska - and if I saw a funnel cloud like that forming that close to me I would probably need a change of underwear. And I've seen funnel clouds before too.

I still remember the Omaha tornado of 1975 when I was a kid. It was the third costliest tornado in U.S. history, with estimated damages at the time around $1.1 billion, which would be about $3.5 billion today. We had friends who stayed with us for a little while after it struck, because the tornado ripped the roof off their apartment building. But my siblings and I had fun playing with their kids, so we didn't mind.
