What others think about Tornado

By: Sara on Jul 11, 2008

I'm a fan of the Tri-state Tornado! and I'm the youngest tornado expert! I was 9 when I started reasearch on tornadoes ever since May 18th, 2005 in the afternoon a funnel cloud was spotted and I was swimming and I was so scared that day my parents told me to reasearch tornadoes. I'm gonna be a Storm Chaser when I grow up.
