  • These people survived terrifying tornadoes. In 2017, a man didn't care that a tornado was on the way, because his lawn needed to be mowed. In 2022, a reporter’s panic was caught on a hot mic during a live feed of tornado coverage. This year, a woman was trapped in an overturned SUV moments after an EF2 tornado, with winds between 111 and 135 miles per hour, ripped through the area. Inside Edition Digital’s Andrea Swindall has more.

    My kids and I were nearly trapped in one of the tornadoes that went through Louisiana and Mississippi last month. We were traveling to see family and the weather got really bad all of a sudden and debris was flying all around us and cracked one of my back windows.I couldn’t see even 5 feet in front of us, I exited off the interstate because I knew a Walmart and Home Depot were on the exit. But something told me not to go near them and to get back on the interstate and just slowly drive as far as I can. I was terrified, my kids were screaming and I told them to bend down and cover their heads. The next 5 minutes we’re some of the scariest in my life, the wind was so strong that my car was rocking back and forth.
    We made it to the next exit and the wind was so strong and the water was up to the door of my car but carefully and slowly I made it under the covering of a gas station where about 20 cars had the same idea. We made our way inside as fast as we could getting soaked in the seconds it took to get inside. Come to find out a tornado was in the Home Depot parking lot I almost drove to. That day could have gone very differently, whatever told me to get back on the interstate instead of taking cover in the Home Depot or Walmart, very likely saved our lives.

    When I was in college, my classmate, and I were walking across the parking lot just when a F2 tornado hit. There weren't any warnings, nothing, it was a surprise. We didn't have a chance to do anything, before it threw us into a muddy field. We had a lot of bruises, cuts, and scratches, no serious injuries. Someone from the school washed off the mud with a hose, and gave us towels. Paramedics should up, and checked us. We were ok, and school was canceled for the day, so we just drove home. It turned out the tornado showed up, hit us, and broke u, it didn't damage anything else.

    People on the road take storms for granted and then if it's a tornado, they get tossed and some poor sap has got to come dig them out and that's if they survived. I was helping my sister and we were in a U-Haul truck when a thunderstorm quickly developed.
    There was green in the sky and pea sized hail. We were sitting in the truck near my mother's because the rain and wind was so intense she couldn't see. I told my sister "This might be tornadic, we need to get to mom's!".
    When there was another little break in the wind & rain/hail, I said "now, we need to make it there now. We don't want to be in this truck if a tornado comes through here". She started driving and then the tornado sirens started going. I admit, the situation was tense, but we made it and was safe.

    Been in three myself, chased down I-75 coming home from vacation in Michigan, one went down my street in Dearborn in 1978, and one other chased me in Talor, Michigan on the main road. I had my three. As the saying goes, missed me by "THAT MUCH".

    2:28 you think the tornado would annihilate that insulation but I guess not

    That one tornado at just over 4 minutes into this video really looks like a slitting image of that rope tornado from the Wizard of Oz movie from the 1930s I believe
