Trucker Survives Tornado Encounter In Shawnee

Driver walked away (figuratively speaking; he was reportedly taken to the hospital with minor injuries).

Wow. Living in Indiana, there is not much that Mother Nature throws at us that I fear more than a tornado. I love to watch storms, and thrive on the chaos; but fully recognize that a tornado is more than I can tangle with, and I am thankful for the technologies that allow us modern folk the ability to make an informed decision on whether to to watch, retreat, or bug out.

What a ride...

Glad he walked away.

I was deathly afraid of them growing up, or should I say, afraid of the idea of them... I've lived in Indiana my entire life and have never actually seen or been through one <knocks wood> though I have seen the after-effects.

I've seen two. One was two blocks from my house . One I was really young and watched from a very safe distance.

I would of needed to change my pants after that ride....

I have seen atleast one. The one that hit Cumberland back in the late '90s.
I have been in a few around 25th and Post (seems that area is always getting hit by them) when I was working at Lowe's.

Got hit in the house boat down in Dale Hollow. That was a ride never to forget... but we never saw or heard it coming and the weather up to it would not of suggested to be watching out for it.
