Holy hell, we've got tornado warnings!

That'd be me (well, minus the green!) If things get weird, if I could fit my doggo on my broom, I'd get the hell outta Dodge! Things are getting really strange, weather-wise right now out there.

Well ain't you a lucky duck. I live in tornado alley and haven't seen one in all my 39 years. Plenty of videos of course but I would like to see an actual tornado with my own eyes.

I would too, but I'm not too happy about potentially being
IN
one. See, at the risk of sounding cliche and sounding like the makings of a really overdone horror movie, I live at the end of a quiet dead-end street, in a big house, at the top of a big hill, surrounded by woods.
Not the best case scenario if we're talking about tornadoes.

To a degree, yes. But, for example, when the tornado hit that town of Springfield in Massachusetts, they ripped apart not just houses (assuming they were built to code), but also what one would assume to be aptly built business and corporate construction facilities.
I'm just living in a house, but you need to take my house's location into consideration as well.
Things just real quiet out there, and the rain stopped….

As a man who survived the unpleasant, but super close encounter with a tornado, stay safe!
We rarely get tornadoes around here but when we do, it's usually EF0 and EF1, that's it. Especially I'm two states away from being in "tornado alley". But I'm living near the ocean so this means we're vulnerable to hurricanes and tropical storms. To be honest, I'd rather have hurricanes than tornadoes.
I remember we did discuss about unusual climate at your area.

A short while ago, I thought it was over. The rain had stopped, the wind had stopped, the air was still, we even had blue skies and white clouds. Things looked pretty nice out, and even when I looked at my AccuWeather (which only shows 60 minutes) there was nothing incoming.
Now I just looked outside, and the wind is blowing so hard, the trees are really bending sideways, the skies look inky and the clouds are back to being dark and gloomy. There's no rain yet, but the wind is really knocking the limbs about some.

That's pretty chilling. I've seen a few tornadoes videos and some are basically "the calm before the storm" and I"m talking about
literal
calm before the storm. It's frightening. This video is one of them.
At first, it looks like a normal small rain then gradually, you'd hear the sound like the freight train slowly approaching. Then bam, destruction and chaos ensue. I hope this won't happen to you.

Well shucks, Mark. Aren't you just my little ray of sunshine tonight? lol
The weather is warming up outside. Very peculiar. It was cooler out when we had the rain, which I guess would make sense. Then it actually still felt sort of cool-ish when the skies were blue and the clouds were out.
But right now, with the dark clouds, the wind is picking up, the trees are bending a lot (but not horizontal!)
but they're whipping back and forth,
and the temperature just went up a couple of degrees.

Sorry sorry. I'm just speaking from the personal experience.
Ah, trees. They like to party in the storm. Whoo-hoo!! And it's getting hotter.
