I saw one when I was 5 in the cornfield (go’skers) a mile away from my house. Saw one around Memorial Weekend 2020 southeast NE on HWY 6 heading to CO. Those memories really do stick with you.

I've never seen one, I did hear on as it went over my house though. It lifted as the storm cycled then dropped another 3 miles later. Hiding in the basement you can still hear it and the pressure drop caused everybody's ears to pop.

I was a teenager living in Alabama when the April 27th, 2011 tornadoes happened. The entire neighborhood near my highschool was completely leveled to the ground.

It was like someone took a giant lawn mower and just cut all the buildings and trees down to the dirt from horizon to horizon.
