what is it like to be inside a hurricane or tornado? i've always been wondering.. i mean part of me wants to see what its like but part of me knows its really stupid and i could die.. lol like when your spinning in one like.. after you get flung off somewhere? i dont get it.
As for a hurricane, if you are in the eye of the hurricane, everything will seem very peaceful. It'll be like the storm is over. However, that is only because you are in the eye, which is the center and most calm part of the storm. Once the hurricane moves a bit more, it gets very violent. This is why during a hurricane, if it seems like its over, you still should not go outside. [ TheWallflower's advice column | Ask TheWallflower A Question ]

Hardly anyone survives actually being *in* a tornado, the debris is worse than being shot at with a machine gun. You aren't lifted up into the tornado, you're pushed mostly horizontally. Almost everyone who dies from a tornado dies from the flying rocks and hail. Tornadoes are invisible except for the debris, so up close it look like a bunch of stuff spinning in a circle really fast. Usually in a tornado-producing storm, the sky turns an extreme black, darker than night, so you can't see anything. Hail(big chunks of ice, sometimes the size of baseballs) fall from the sky and smash everything around the tornado. Before and after the tornado, the sky sometimes turns an unnatural shade of purple or orange.
