One summer after noon in mid-July of 2011, I was playing baseball with my friends out my backyard and I looked out to the west and I could a huge wall cloud coming my way and I just stood there in shock because I had never seen a wall cloud before and my friends and I just ran into my basement. Its a good thing we did because the siren's went off and it got really windy and all of a sudden I could see a huge cloud moving across the ground very fast. Right there and then I knew there was a tornado. I was scared for my life, i have never been through a tornado before. Later that night we had another Sever Thunderstorm, except this one did not have a tornado with it. It just had baseball size hail. I couldn't understand why we were always getting hit with storms everyday.
