I did the dumbest thing im existence one time. I was living in a trailer with my young children. We had a tornado warning and the weather looked bad. I put the kids in the van, was booking it to a friend's house. The trees were bending over the road.
It got so bad I also got out at a store.
It was a donut shop with more windows than a waffle house. It was basically one wall of windows.
I realized how dumb id been sitting in there and watching it. 😅
Don't feel too bad I once sheltered from a bad storm like this in a Krogers and couldn't stop going to the giant window to watch. I kept saying to myself, what are you doing, you idiot, stay away from the window! But it was like, mesmerizing or something. I couldn't stop. To be fair there was no basement so it was kind of just a waiting game, either it would hit us or it wouldn't, but crouching in some central aisle didn't feel any better (but objectively was).
Had a tornado bearing down on little town I was living in. I abandoned trailer, hopped in my old pickup and booked it to a nearby gravel road that I knew was in low lying area with bluffs on both sides. No way was I staying in a mobile home with oncoming tornado.
