It's been exactly 100 years.
On June 30, 1912, green funnel clouds formed outside the city of Regina (where I live), and turned the then small city into an area of complete and total devastation.
Eyewitnesses of the time stated that two funnel clouds collided, and merged to become a super-tornado, over 1200 feet wide, with wind velocities upwards of 300 miles per hour.
The tornado formed 11 miles south of the city, and tore a destructive swath through Regina, demolishing over 500 buildings, and killing 28 people. 2500 people lost their homes.
To this date, it remains (by a wide margin) the deadliest tornado in Canadian history.

Tornadoes are freaking scary. In fact, remember those weird clouds I posted the other day?

Turns out there WERE several tornadoes in the area. Luckily, there were no reported fatalities.
Also, watch this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wERVsp98WQ

I don't know if I should fave this or not. Lost my home, my family's home, and the whole damn forest surrounding them, April of last year. Family only narrowly escaped being tossed into the lake (along with what was left of our home) by a mud embankment.
Yeah, tornadoes are pretty freaking scary.

Which is why I'm glad I was visiting friends when the tornadoes hit. Because I had exactly that same sort of attitude. Had the family run in to tell me to hit the hallway, I would have rolled back over on my nice comfy bed and had a good chuckle at their freak-out.
As it turns out, the massive 100 year old tree that crash landed on top of my bed, found it just as comfy.

Same here. I live in Kansas, and around here the attitude is pretty much "If it ain't gonna hit my house, stop yellin at me an' let me go back to sleep."
Remember that tornado that hit Joplin last year? It hit Oklahoma first, then in Lawrence where I live, then went Missouri. I was camping at a con in Oklahoma at the same time it hit, in the same area it hit. We got five straight days of rain (it literally rained five days straight), and our campfire area alternated between a swamp and a lake. At the time the tornado hit, me and some friends of mine were standing outside watching the clouds literally rotate as they passed right overhead.
Everybody else was freaking out, we were enjoying the scenery. x3

This a tangential question, but I feel the need to ask: Is the "i" in Regina pronounced as "ee" as in feet, or is it pronounced as a long I (rhyming with pie -- please note that I did not stoop to using another word there)? The reason I ask is that I've heard it pronounced both ways, but I want to know how a person who lives there pronounces it.
Keep it up and you're going to give yourself nightmares.
I've had "tornado dreams" before; they are the craziest dreams ever. When we dream about tornadoes however, it's not necessarily about the storms in general - unless you've really been in a few for real. Instead, dreaming of tornadoes either chasing you, or coming past you, is a sign of great chaos and struggle going on inside you. The more you know! ^^
