  This is my first blog post, so bear with me.&nbsp; I thought it would be a neat idea to start a blog, cause I'm always losing my journals!&nbsp; I figured it wasn't exactly easy to lose a website :P&nbsp; Anyways, I'll probably be posting in this one a lot.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Just yesterday, my family and I decided to storm chase (yeah, I know, we're crazy).&nbsp; But we always enjoy it.&nbsp; This one was a bit more..."intense".&nbsp; We started driving along behind the squall line to stay outta the real thick stuff.&nbsp; Well, we pulled over to watch the storm going on, and all of a sudden, we start seeing tornado tails dropping from the clouds!! !&nbsp; We started driving again (yeah, like I said, we're crazy, but we wanted to see more of the storm).
So we continued driving along, and all of a sudden, the rain started real thick, and we couldn't see anything so we pulled over.&nbsp; That's when things got REEEALLY bad.&nbsp; We saw the wind change direction and then we felt the wind slam against the car.&nbsp; WE GOT CAUGHT IN&nbsp;PART OF A TORNADO!! !&nbsp; It was amazing!&nbsp; Everything seemed to go in slow motion.&nbsp; My heart was beating fast, but felt slow.&nbsp;Everything was white because the hail (ranging from&nbsp;golfball size, to baseball size, to 3 baseballs stuck together size), and and&nbsp;rain was so thick.
&nbsp;My sister reached over and grabbed my arm and said, "Risa...are we still on the ground? "&nbsp; I leaned up and nodded saying, "I can still see the road. "&nbsp; Then Dad sped down the road away from the tornado and we started driving down a different road.&nbsp; Then I looked out my window and pointed, saying, "Mom...mom..MOM! "&nbsp;cause she wasn't listening.&nbsp; She said, "what?! "&nbsp; I was like, "LOOK! " and we saw another tornado coming down.&nbsp; Mom shouted, "DRIVE!
" We drove and drove through the pounding rain and hail until we reached Thompson, where my grandmother lives.&nbsp; We took shelter there until we were sure it was safe to return to home.&nbsp; It was sooo surreal that moment we were caught at the edge of the tornado.&nbsp; It was like something from a movie that you'd never think could happen in real life.&nbsp; It was AWESOME! ^_^
