HURRICANE, n. An atmospheric demonstration once very common but now generally abandoned for the tornado and cyclone.

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

Hey, Mark, you can't see the tornado now.
Ralph Moore
You just try to go about your daily routines. But I look at it, I don't know how to say this ... It's like the story about when the tornado touches down and all these houses go down but it skips just this one. It's one of those things you don't think about.

Ron Sevart
The taller that storm is, the more air that is rushing up. And as that air rushes up into the storm, it is making those winds turn with height, and that spinning is what causes the tornado vortex that drops down out of the cloud.
Nezette Rydell
We were looking at 2,500 square feet in a basic metal building there, and this is 10,000 square feet in a building that was designed as a hardened structure. There's no way a tornado could ever take this place out because of the design and location.

They were on the air, and they had been struck by the tornado and the storms before we were, and they were just starting to get on the radio and use it as we activated our sirens. Once our sirens went silent, they could go back to normal.
