s the F-5 twister strikes, cars are carried over ten story buildings and clothes are ripped of some poor person's body, most people are cowering in their basement, shaking with fear of the monster that destroys everything in it's path. It was a tornado.The sky above is a threatening shade of grayish-black. The cycloned itself is a terrifying sight. But the sky behind the funnel is light. People start to see a thin ray of hope. When the tornado has left the area, ther is debris everywhere. Not to mention dust. Before a twister, it is hot, humid, hot, humid, hot and alos humid. There is no wind. It can make you very lazy. It is also very damp out. Damp, as in it's too cold to go swimming but too hot to go skating (ice skating). By the way, one of the other reasons you won't go swimming is because ther is a tornado watch. All of the sudden; BLAM!! A tree branch falls into the bathroom windo as the tornado warning sounds. It causes complete and utter chaos. The air is thick with the stench of fresh blood that has been sprayed. The cyclone is traveling down the street, destroying everything in its path. Anything that is not destroyed is sucked up. So basically everything is demolished. There is the crashing of thunder above the roar of the clycone. Lightning flashes in the distance, illuminating the twister. The tornado is moving rapidly away from your street. It smells fresh and damp. It also smells hot and humid, if that is possible. It also smells heavy. So, ti smells odd. Whoosh! That is the sound of the howling wind. It also sounds like a greight engine. Watch out for the dew point.
The End
