Sounds horrific! How did you know it was a tornado? What did it sound like? What did you do?
Tornado's have a sound all their own. Hard to describe. Most people say it sounds like a train coming through your place. Living in Arkansas, you get used to tornado's. The worst I've seen was the super tuesday tornado of 2008. It was a half mile wide and had smaller tornado's on either fringe. It traveled 122 miles in a straight line and never once zig-zagged like a conventional one. Wiped out about 3/4's of our town. Took this picture of a jeep wedged in the tree across from the fire station, and the other was the local lady's new Humvee. rolled it about a quarter mile into the field.
oh they're usually always in a panic by the time we get to them of course so we have to put a big cloth over the gap to stop them flying around the livingroom covered in dirt from the chimney .. . It's quite funny sometimes because often the bird might have been in the chimney for a whole day or a whole night before it's rescued because we 'll leave it to make it's own way out which often they can do.. but when it's obvious they can't.. we can go outside and see that the parent bird (usually collared doves or wood pigeons) is waiting on the roof for the baby to come out, and it might have been there for hours...
That would scare the heck out of me, as well.
Wow! That must be terrifying! Good luck in the future and please stay safe!Tornado's have a sound all their own. Hard to describe. Most people say it sounds like a train coming through your place.

So, along that line, I guess waking up to hear people or animals screaming in pain would be the worst.

Aww, how cute! We used to have a male canary as our pet for many, many years. We would let him free from the cage every so often and he'd fly around the house. One time, he got caught behind the refrigerator and we couldn't find him. But eventually we did. He avoided the refrigerator after that! He loved to sit on a picture frame in front of the large mirror in the living room, gazing at his image (I guess he thought it was another canary) and sing at the top of his lungs. He was right on pitch. I would play the piano and he'd sing along. I had taped it once. He was amazing. We ended up getting him a white female canary. Unfortunately, she died six months later, and he died shortly after that. We were heartbroken.oh they're usually always in a panic by the time we get to them of course so we have to put a big cloth over the gap to stop them flying around the livingroom covered in dirt from the chimney .. .

How utterly awful. I am sure I would not answer the door if someone I did not know was banging loudly on it
That is one noise that really upsets me.
My cats have thrown up on the bed. Multiple times.
That would be scary indeed. One would have to ask themselves "Will I go and check or will I hide under the bed"?
!!
what ???..
I'm afraid, for no reason, of birds who are in the house.
