better question: what do you look like? i bet you're black. ]
look up tornado clouds on google huh? ]
If the sky is a funny yellowish-greenish colour, and there's a VERY large dark (nearly black) cloud that also goes up like a tower, and you swear to god you can see a swirl in it- that's the storm cell that can provide a tornado.
"A tornado is defined as a violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground and pendent from a cumulonimbus cloud." So says the U of Illinois's website.
Also, and this is going to sound weird, but check the local animals and wildlife. They usually know if something's coming down. Use your instincts. When one hit around here, I woke up that day with an awful feeling that Something Was Going to Go Wrong that day, and it really just persisted until the storm hit. Luckily, I only ended up with hail and a broken window- but some were no so. Nobody died, though, so it's okay. ]
Funnels. I got a bunch of photos living in tornado country! I have no way to show them to you at the moment but I know where to find them.....:)
