Would you chase a tornado?

Just before Thanksgiving, we had one "chase" us and we never left the house.

Emergency management officials are reporting several instances of tornado damage as a result of storms that plowed through central Illinois on Sunday.

Storms coming from the southwest rushed through Vermilion County early in the afternoon, bringing high winds, rain and tornado damage from Westville north to Hoopeston.

According to reports to the National Weather Service in Lincoln, local officials noted tornado damage in the Catlin area, where two farm houses were damaged by tornado three miles southwest of the village, while two farms were reported destroyed two miles southeast of Catlin. Tornado damage to machine sheds was also reported in the Jamaica area.

Tornado damage also was reported near Westville, where trees and power poles were downed. In addition there was damage to the high school and a mobile home. A tornado also was reported north of Westville on County Road 1350N, west of Illinois Route 1.

To me, it doesn't sound fun or fulfilling, so, no, probably not. :P

I have never seen a tornado, nor will I ever chase it. I will never risk my life being sucked into a tornado like Dorothy from Wizard of Oz.
