I remember a night in 97 after there had been a wide tornado outbreak in the Midwest and we had thunderstorms forecast. You so often hear tornado survivors describing hearing a roar like a freight train preceding the impact. I was watching tv that night and heard that roar. I remember thinking "Oh crap a tornado does sound like a train" For the last 28 years it amazes me that for even just the two seconds it took me to remember, that I had forgotten that my apartment was 25 yards from an active train line.
