Over 300 dead in Alabama alone, close to 400 total last count across the south. I was in the path of the one from Tuscaloosa, it passed through there and into Gadsden where I was at the time. A very scary experience and we only got the outlying windgusts of the thing.

@TheOrangelover101

research them, do not chase them. Chasing would only heighten your fear, tornadoes are not a "stand up to it and it will go away" creation.

@fanboy20 thanks for telling me that :)

@TheOrangelover101

no problem at all. I became fascinated by them when I was a child but part of their allure was my intense fear of them despite living in PA. No doubt they are terrifying but the more you know the safer and more accepting you can be. Stay smart, stay safe this year.
