I grew up in tornado country in Indiana and when living in Kansas, I once had to outrun an EF 4 along the turnpike just east of Lawrence. Another time, I had my Subaru moved from the driving lane to the passing lane outside Russell just like a little kid might move a toy car along with pitch blackness for a moment. Then water came out of the sky like a bucket, literally, with four inches of water on the highway for a
minute. Very very scary. That one was sort of a fluke that dropped out of the sky and the weather radio did not mention until after. finally, I had one coming directly for my house in Topeka in a straight line lifting part of the roof off of a high school a half mile away then fortunately lifting up.
I always think of hurricanes as tornados. Michael was a 90 mile wide tornado and within that 90 mile wide swathe, the force ranged from an EF1 to an EF 3 level tornado. No thanks, not living anywhere where this happens and not ever going to test my RV against it. I don't live in KS anymore either.
