Holy heck!!! We had one go down our street in the summer of 1978. Fortunately, no damage was done Two weeks ago was the first time that I actually took cover in years
A few years back we had one hit a Faulkner car dealership near here (video below). I was driving home from the grocery store at the time, about a mile away, and luckily turned left and missed driving right into the tornado, yikes.
We hardly ever get them around here (Phila area), but my parents lived in Kansas for a while and would occasionally see them forming off on the horizon. People there were so used to it, they would go about their business unless the tornado was actually coming their way -
