we were scared too .
DeleteDrew and Wade
7 tornadoes were reported to have touched ground last Friday. I was very scared the thought of being in a tornado scared me. Even the thought of just seeing one scared me. I have never been in a tornado and I don't want to. I thought it was so sad to hear about the little toddler who was thrown away from her family and died in the hospital and the rest of her family was killed.
ReplyDeleteWe were scared as well and it is very sad about the little toddler that died. Also we found that seven tornadoes touched down.
DeleteI found it pretty scary as well, especially because of how strong that they can be. I am also scared of seeing a tornado, because that would mean that it is nearby.
Delete~Alex Stevens and Julia Glenn
i heard about that too i think that was so sad.
DeleteWe completely agree with you! We were scared that the tornado was going to hit here! It was also sad about what happened to the toddler.
DeleteKnowing a tornado could take down a whole neighborhood, it freaked me out. I also heard about the toddler. I heard she died yesterday ):
DeleteMy lil bro was completely freakin out about it but i think it was to annoy my mom.
DeleteAs the storms raged through the area, we were somewhat going on with our life, and somewhat watching the news to make sure that the storms did not come near the specific area that we were in. We were also in the basement for part of the time, just for caution.
ReplyDeleteOur thoughts were that we hoped that the tornadoes didn't destroy anything or anyone, but those negative thoughts were confirmed, in many different areas.
After reading the links, we learned that the tornadoes mainly struck Moscow, Ohio, parts of Indiana, and a lot of northern Kentucky.
We also learned that the tornadoes measured up to an EF4 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which means that they were very powerful.
Dylan and I both went down into our basements and we both thought the storm was kinda freaky. This was an E-f4 tornado.This tornado also flattened Henryville High School. There were several tornadoes that ripped through the tri-state on friday.
ReplyDeleteTornadoes touched down in Adams county, Owen County, Moscow, Holton, & more. We were very scared. There were 7 tornadoes that touched down on Friday. The tornadoes mainly struck in Moscow Ohio, parts of Indiana, and Kentucky. We learned that tornadoes can be very powerful.
ReplyDelete7 tornadoes were reported to have touched the ground on Friday. I was sitting upstairs with my friend Emma, holding my nephew. We were watching the news, while being freaked out. I was also texting my friend Maggie Hoover, who has a fear of weather, so she was pretty shook up... I was scared a tornado would hit Dent or Cheviot, which is right by my house. I learned that torndaoes can basically rip down a whole town. I also never realized a tornado could be so fast.
ReplyDeleteDuring the storm we were scared that we would get hit by the tornado.After reading we learned that there were 7 other tornadoes that hit.
ReplyDelete~Brooke C and Taylar H.
- There were 7 confirmed tornadoes.
ReplyDelete- An EF4 tornado hit southern Indiana.
- There was also an EF3 tornado.
- An EF4 is the second highest on the Fujita scale and can have winds up to 200 miles per hour.
- In Indiana at least 30 buildings were damaged, and at least 14 were destroyed completely.
- A quarter mile wide tornado carved out a 10 mile stretch from Crittenden to Piner, which killed 4 people.
There was also tornadoes reported in Moscow,Ohio; Carroll County Kentucky; and Scioto County, Ohio.
THAT'S TRUELY SAD!
Delete@ Bryant Winters,
ReplyDeleteWe couldn't believe the tornadoes got up to 200 mph! I would be terrified if the tornado was in our area.

DeleteI was at my grandma's and I was thinking WE ARE GOING TO DIE. but then it past over and i was thinking wow that was stupid. Drew was on the highway and was worried.
ReplyDeleteWade And Drew FitzGibbon
right, so that's how you felt and what you were doing, but what did you learn?
DeleteYou guys did a good job on what you were doing and how you felt but you didn't put what you learned.
DeleteAbby wasn't that concerned while she was selling girl scout cookies and eating Skyline. Brynn was not concerned while she watched T.V. because she had no clue what was going on.
ReplyDeleteWe learned that the tornado mainly hit Moscow, Ohio, parts of Indiana, and Northern Kentucky. We learned that these tornado's measured up to EF4 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
I didn't really care either. The tornado warning was kind of misleading for me because nothing really happened.
DeleteMaggie: I flipped out! I don't see how you guys couldn't care. I was shaking!
DeleteSarah: I agree, I wasn't freaking out or anything haha.
7 TORNADOES hit the tri-state but i was out side running around the parking lot.
ReplyDeleteRoss Campbell Dallas Blasek
We saw other tornadoes in Adams county, Owen County, Moscow, Holton.
ReplyDeleteRachel & Andrea -i was hanging out with friends and eating dinner i thought we were going to get hit bad but we did not. i was scared that something bad was going to hit Cincinnati. it ended up being OK for us but many other towns i Ohio got completely destroyed.
ReplyDeleteDuring the tornadoes I was just sitting at home watching tv. I wasn't really scared or cautious. A total of 7 tornadoes touched down!
ReplyDeleteWhat were you watching? The news or something to tell how people were dealing?
DeleteNope, i was watching comedy central, i didn't even know there was a warning at the time.
DeleteHow did you not know there was a tornado warning, they put in the corner of the screen on every chanel.
DeleteBailee: I was at my aunts house helping her make dinner. Most of my local dwelling relatives were at my aunts house for dinner, so we had to make a lot.
ReplyDeleteLexi and Sydney (The Twins): We were text messaging each other on our cellular devises, and the news was on in the background.
Maggie: I was watching the weather, because a phobia of storms. I was freaking out because I thought the storms were coming to Delhi.
ReplyDeleteSarah: I was hanging out with Liz and Mckenzie. I watched the weather, but I wasn't freaked out.
We learned that an EF4, tornado touched down in Southern Indiana. Tornadoes also occurred in Moscow and parts of Indiana and Northern Kentucky. 7 tornadoes touched down in our Tri-State area. We also heard about a toddler who was found in a field, and died. But the rest of her family died as well.
I like your answer:)
DeleteWe were all in our basements watching T.V, except for Cara who was sitting in her grandma's room watching T.V. Jordan was scared and she was worried about her dogs because she had to leave them at her house, Jenna was a bit scared but she knew the tornado wasn't going to hit but she was still worried about her family. Cara was fine, she knew the tornado wasn't going to hit them so she gave her dog a bath because he rolled in a dead snake. We learned that tornadoes can't make it up hills, if they do they don't last long and that's why Ohio was built on the 7 hills and we weren't hit with anything. The tornado touched down in Indiana, Kentucky and pretty much all of the mid-east.
ReplyDeleteWe were hanging in our basements. There were 7 reported tornadoes in the tri- state area. The largest tornadoes in the area hit Holtn, In. Crittenden, Piner, Ky. and Moscow, Oh. The town of Henryville, Indiana was completly demolished by the tornado on Friday.
ReplyDelete@ Jenna Cara and Jordan
ReplyDeleteWe never knew that tornadoes were the reason Ohio was built on hills. I thought it was just chance.
Kat: I did not know the storms were there until my mom told me, I did not think hat it looked bad outside so I didn't do anything differently.
ReplyDeleteMeara: When the storm was happening I was just getting home. I ran upstairs to take a quick shower, came downstairs to move my Xbox, and computer, and iPod downstairs just in case. Then I sat at the kitchen table, mad that my mom was watching the weather, and I was eating a red velvet cream cheese cupcake.
Kat: I learned that the tornadoes mostly struck Indiana. Areas that are normally suburban and happy were destroyed. There is 15 miles of destroyed area.
Meara: I learned that their was a lot of bad tornadoes. I feel sad for all the people with destroyed homes.
@ Kat
DeleteI know you have a little sister and i was wondering if she or any of your other family members were scared. My brother was flippin and my sister was a lil scared to. I was wonderin if you or any one else had frightened family members.

I(Sam)was watching the news and I saw that the tornadoes were south of us so I didn't worry about it. I (Charlie)was in my basement watching the news on the T.V.,I didn't worry about it that much. Facts: 7 tornadoes were formed, an EF 4 tornado formed in Henryville Indiana. One tornado was 10-11 miles long. Other places tornadoes formed were in Moscow,Ohio Carroll,Indiana and scioto county, Ohio.
ReplyDelete@Budde, Finn, Brad...
ReplyDeleteWe did did not know about the SEVEN tornadoes until now. We are glad they didn't hit here.
I found out that there was a family that was seperated from their 15-month old baby girl by the tornado. Newscasters even reported that the whole family, even the baby girl, was killed by the storm.-Dominic Deutsch

Deletebrandi luers
Chyanne did, so I was looking at the news watching the weather, waiting for my dad to come home and once he got home we where getting things inside from outside and then we went to stand outside and watched the rain fall down, and so we had our two dogs down stairs in the cages to make sure if something bad happened they had leashes and a saftey place like a cage. I thought it was odd and scary but fun.
ReplyDeleteErin did... I was going to the store to go groscery shopping and so then I ran down the stairs with my dog and 2 hamsters and put them away so they were safe.
Mrs.Hoffman,
ReplyDelete(Kylie) I was so scared I went to the basement and shoved my dog,hamster and me into a closet and sat there for a hour waiting for the storm to go away.(Mya)I felt scared because i did not know what was going to happen and i was worried about if the tornado was to come to Hamilton than i would have ran to my neighbors house with my family and hide in their basement.
Tornadoes also hit in Holton,Indiana , Crittenden and Piner,Kentucky ,and Moscow, Ohio.They measured a EF3.
i thought that when it happened it was going to reach us and the winds were very strong and powerful over 20 tornadoes acured and over the united states 72 people died.
ReplyDeleteraymond wink
when me and brandon heard about the storm we felt really bad we looked up the type of tornado it was a EF4. There is 15 miles of destroyed area in indiana.
ReplyDeleteby:kyle and brandon
Erin and Chyanne
ReplyDelete(Kylie) I was also hiding downstairs with my animals to.
(Mya)I agree with Erin because she tells what she was doing while the storm was going on.
We both went down to our basement's and we both thought the storm was gonna turn into a tornado and kills us.... but it didn't.
ReplyDeleteI was watching tv and my thoughts were are those people in Kentucky, India,and Ohio going to die. Danny was at his friends house, and his thoughts were he thought he was going to die because he was playing basketball.
ReplyDeletenice work.

ReplyDelete(olivia) I just sat on my couch,watched tv, and texted people.
(Jessica)I was outside for a little then i went inside and watched tv

Delete@Danny McCarthy and Matt Schapker
ReplyDeleteI would feel bad for them to if I knew there would be a tornado in Kentucky
I was thinking of the people in Indiana because I knew there would be alot of tornados there.
I didn't know it was a tornado warning I thought it was a severe thunderstorm warning so i didn't do anything about it- Olivia
ReplyDeleteI was sitting in my living room waching tv when my mom told me about them an d she also told me to go down stairs if we here the syrons-kaylin
the tornado that tuched down in holten mesued 10-11 miles long
What i was doing while these storms were raging through is i was watching the news trying to prepare for it if the tornadoe hit but i couldn't because i was to busy panicing and worrying if i was going to die or not but i wasn't as worried about it after a little while cause it's rare in the part of ohio where we live for a tornadoe to hit but you never know some of my thoughts were am i going to die and i am pretty sure that's all i could think about at the time.

During the storms CJ was at Western Bowl.His thoughts are he wasn't paying attention and he didn't care.DJ he was eating chicken noodle soup.His thoughts are he didn't care.John was in the car at the time.And was a little scared at the time.Some facts are that the tornado's were really bad like EF1 and EF3.And they were in different places like Henrysville,Indiana.
ReplyDelete@ ben and joe schapker
ReplyDeletehaha i didn't know there was a tornado either i was watching tv

So we were paniked for a very long time and had the news on and had EVERYTHING and i mean EVERYTHING ready to go down to the basement. But we didnt actully have a big tornado by us and my dad made it home alive so where all good.
ReplyDelete@ olivia g. & rentz
ReplyDeletei agree with you olivia i was on my couch and i was scared though... my mom was texting people too. Did you guys know that there was a tornado i bridgetown
@Jenna Bertke, Cara Roche, Jordan Iori...
ReplyDeleteOhio is not built on 7 hills. Cincinnati is though. It would take far more than 7 hills to build all of Ohio on it. Most of Ohio is not hilly, in Columbus is is flat. There were tornadoes in Moscow, Ohio too.
I know, sorry, I mixed up the words, I didn't mean that's why Ohio was built on the 7 hills. We meant that Cincinnati was built on hills. Making it a bit harder for tornadoes to damage our homes.
DeleteWhen I woke up on Friday I was in St. Louis and it was raining. When I got to the car it was hailing the size of dime. I did get hit in the head. Luckily me and my family got to Tulsa, Oklahoma with out any problems and passed the storm.
ReplyDeleteTornadoes are scary and nothing to joke about.
I believe they are scary.
It is even more real when you are near one
@Lorraine
ReplyDeleteMan that had to be so scary. How bad did the hail hurt? It is a good thing you were able to get out of the way of the storm because it was deadly unfortinatly.
@ Lorraine
ReplyDeleteHow hard was the storm in St.Louis? Because the bulk of it past in south eastern Indiana and north eastern Kentucky.
I found out that there was a familt seperated from their 15-month old baby girl by the tornado. Newscasters reported that the whole family, even the baby girl, was also killed by the storm. The girl was said to be found in a field in Old Washington county.-Dominic Deutsch
ReplyDelete@Lorraine
ReplyDeleteOmg thats pretty scary Lorraine and we are so glad that you are okay I agree tornados are really scary!!!
@Lorraine
ReplyDeleteCould you actually see the tornado? If you did see the tornado how close was it to you?
@Ben and Joe Schapker
ReplyDeleteYou said you guys didn't even know there were tornados and sirens going off? If thats true when did you guys actually realize we had tornados near us? How surprised were you when you heard the news?
