Couple years ago, some friend of mine in the Champlain Valley here in VT were outside watching and taking pictures of severe thunderstorms rolling in from across the lake. Neat pictures of storm rotation, which scared the shit out of me. Sure enough. It produced a weak EF1. I told them, man, when we saw shit like that down south, we headed for shelter immediately! Not hanging out taking pictures of it!
I grew up in the middle TN portion of tornado land. The region had an EF-4 hit on Christmas eve back in the late 80's. I don't mess with the potential for tornados.
