Yes, one can see it coming, and one generally gets warning sirens in advance, and one generally knows the conditions which spawn tornadoes and can make arrangements and take precautions.

They don't suddenly shake ones house and the ground under ones feet without warning. I'll stick with the occasional tornado, thank you very much.

Glad you're all okay, Potter.

I have seen live fotage of your tornado Potter and I am glad to hear that you are ok. I think tornados are cool to and exciting. I saw a live one in person a couple weeks ago. I was a few miles away but had perfect view of it the whole time. I agree with Pat you have advanced watches and warnings and know to be on the lookout for them when conditions are favorable. Plenty of time most the time to get in the basement and hide.

The very ominious dark cloud action lets you know something is happening somewhere near, but didn't see anything. The atmosphere feels weird, birdies hunker down quiet. Glad I didn't, that's a little too close! Good pics, Slim.

That particular tornado destroyed a plant and numerous houses in Louisiana. "The most active day was April 24th, with 77 preliminary tornado reports, mainly in the Southeast. The deadliest tornado of 2010, and first EF–4 of the year, occurred on this day, when a tornado touched down in eastern Louisiana and tracked eastward into Mississippi with a 149-mile (240 km) track and a maximum width of 1.75 miles (2.8 km). This track length is one of the longest tornado track on record. Yazoo and Holmes counties were particular hard hit when the tornado reached its maximum strength with estimated winds of 170 mph (274 km/hr). Across the two states at least 10 people were killed and 146 injured."

This shows the track and ratings of the tornado.
