My husband and I are both ham radio operators. We went to a storm spotter class tonight. It was way cool. There was a guy from the national weather service showing slides of different storm clouds, showing how tornados form and what to look for in cloud formations that might indicate dangerous weather.

One thing he pointed out is if you are watching a storm, and a tornado forms, check to see if it starts moving left or right. He said tornados rarely stay in one place. If it isn't moving left or right, that means it's either moving towards you or away from you. If you're watching it and it doesn't seem to move, but keeps getting bigger and bigger, that means it is moving. Right at you. Run. Run for your life. If you run to the right or left maybe you can get out of it's path, because chances are if you and the tornado are heading in the same direction the tornado will run over you like a freight train.
