| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

Tornadoes is right. They hit north of central Florida. Lots of damage...but at least the government is right on top of it and helping out. Unfortunately 20 people died. Sometimes winter storms can be quick and wicked here in Florida.
BTW-hurricane season is from June 1st to November 30th. And after going through the 2004 and 2005 season-they can just stay the hell away. Four hurricanes per season in those years. Yuck! The usual is one per season hitting somewhere in the state. We had two go over us. What a mess! |

I was in a tornado when I was 12. It was ****ing scary!! My dad and I were in a car on the highway, trying to drive away from the storm, only the funnel cloud was coming nearer and nearer to us, and we couldn't get away from it. So my dad parked the car close to an underpass, grabbed me and we hid under the bridge in this little alcove area. The funnel cloud went right through the bridge area, but luckily missed us because we were in the alcove. It was SO loud!! I still have nightmares about it sometimes. It totally destroyed our car. |

hehehe, when I was very little (maybe five?) my dad, brother and I were coming back from a lake. Dad was drinking and drove through a small tornadeo. It was very very small. Dad was yehawing! LOL. It wasn't very scary more fascianting for me. I only remember little bits of it. However, that was a super tiny one. It shook the car and that was about it.. I think it was probably just forming or something..

Wow so we were very lucky then. We are not tornado people... don't know much about them, just happened to be in that area at the time. Quote: |

They're generally about 15 feet tall and they pick up bits of rubbish to swirl around. I saw an old lady knocked done by one once.

Good one Marlene, Follow the Yellow Brick Road and such. Thankfully Tornadoes are fairly rare over here, we do get them, but not on the same scale as the States.
Its unusual to get them this time of year, isn't it.
