Today is the 22 yr anniversary of the worst tornado on record in Canada... which just so happened to be where I live, and I just so happened to be right next to it... we were on the highway which was stopped traffic... a police man took my mom, sister and I and made us scale a fence(I was 6) to get to a Holiday Inn to shelter ourselves... the twister was hitting the houses directly behind to hotel we were in... bad bad bad.

I was so friggin scared.
