“This is where I was actually standing when the tornado came over and you can see where it passed by and hit this water tower and see if you can notice how it knocked the paint off the water tower; that was freshly painted. Three tornadoes that came within 10-minutes of each other and I'm guessing time.”
David Kenney
“When you have winds from 80 to 100 mph it can do damage similar to that of a tornado. That can do some very, very big damage.”
Jesse Moore
“But we're comparing tornado reports, which are probably inflated, with confirmed tornadoes for previous years.”
Daniel McCarthy
“You don't want to be in a vehicle when a tornado hits. It's too easy to pick it up.”
Kent Prochazka
“Often when you get hurricanes moving like this in the eastern Gulf, we'll have some isolated tornadoes in the rain bands well away from the center,”
Max Mayfield
“In some places it's known as a tornado. In others, a cyclone. And in still others, the Idiot's Merry-go-round. But around here they'll always be known as screw-boys.”
Jack Handy
“HURRICANE, n. An atmospheric demonstration once very common but now generally abandoned for the tornado and cyclone. The hurricane is still in popular use in the West Indies and is preferred by certain old-fashioned sea-captains. It is also used in the construction of the upper decks of steamboats, but generally speaking, the hurricane's usefulness has outlasted it.”
Ambrose Bierce
