I grew up in Kansas and had 4 near misses, could see the Tornado but outran two crossing our path and the other two raised when they hit the river South of town. We had many other warnings, town siren but nothing appeared. Even in the 50s we knew what conditions it took for a Tornado and was on guard when they existed. Spent many an hour in the basement at home and at school. Maybe the difference was we did not have the Weather Stations to rely on so were extra cautious where today people are waiting for the warning from the powers to be! PLUS luck!
