Ever been in a hurricane?

[Kenya]

Hurricane Eloise in 1975 in Panama City, FL. I was just a little thing. I remember going to one of our member's house and reading comic books all night long.

Does a tornado count?

Actually, Little Sis, the only comparison is they both do a lot of destruction and they both rotate. I have been through both. A tornado hits and is over. A hurricane lasts for hours that can seem like days.
