[QUOTE="iowafarmer, post: 533932, member: 7792"] I was outside most of the time watching for funnel clouds or tornado that has touched down. If they get to close or there is a funnel cloud over head i go down the basement. I heard that the 1/2 mile wide one went right overtop a guy. He was working on a farm place in a skidloader adn saw it coming and he went and layed down in the ditch along the road. Went roght over him and took his hat off but otehr wise he was fine. The key is to make yourself as low and as small a target as you can. Most people get killed by debre rather than getting sucked up by the tornado. If one gets within 3 miles you head down stairs. Our stairs to the basement are right by the back door so i can get in the basement pretty fast from outside. [/QUOTE]
