Tornadoes fascinate me for some reason, and this is a great photo of one.
The first two rows of cars, left to right, starting with Row 1:
*1970 Ford Galaxie XL
*1969 Buick Skylark
*1966 Ford Galaxie
*1968 Chevelle Malibu
*1970 Ford F-Series (F-200?)
*Unidentified wagon (possible full-sized Chevrolet, 1967-1968)
Row 2:
*Unidentifed.
*Volkwagen Karmann-Ghia
*Unidentified (possible AMC Matador)
*Opel GT
*1971-1973 Pinto
*Unidentifed (behind Pinto)
Also visible in the background are a 1964 Chevrolet full-size and a 1967 or 1968 Cadillac.

#5, He's not my real dad! My real dad was got by the tornado that hit Dallas in '57! He had just finished identifying a 1954 Hudson Hornet and was trying to figure out what turned out to be a 1952 Muntz-Jet when he got sucked up!
Neither of you understand anything! Neither of you care about me!

I've been through tornadoes in Illinois, Hurricanes in Florida (not playa de sat) and earthquakes in California.
The tornado was scarriest, the hurricane kind of fun in a chaotic way.

A few years ago I was riding south with my older brother in Illinois. He was driving his '84 Sentra wagon. Supposedly we missed a tornado by a few minutes... worst rain I had ever been through (the Illinois drivers didnt't help)... the wipers were going full speed and I could see maybe 10 feet in front of me. Didn't stop anyone though - they were still going 70mph! Suddenly traffic ground to halt and there were cars strewn all over... including a semi tanker truck. Supposedly the tornado jumped the highway? Though I think it was just the bad rain mixed with bad drivers... just our luck to be there!

The second tornado ever caught on film (the third if you count the waterspout that hit Cuba in the 1930s), this video was taken by a serviceman at Warner Robbins AFB in Georgia, April of 1953. This tornado killed 19 people....some sources say the cameraman was one of them.

The video has been invaluable to meterologists over the years, as it's the first (and still one of the best) videos of tornado destruction, as this was a very destructive F4 twister.

Incidentally, the above picture is from Xenia, Ohio, April 3, 1974. Leveled half the town, killed 36 people and injured about 1400. One of the worst tornadoes on record, both in terms of damage and loss of life.
The picture was taken from a window of Greene Memorial Hospital, which was just narrowly avoided.

The Xenia tornado was part of the 1974 "Super Outbreak" event where 148 tornadoes touched down in 13 U.S. states between April 3rd and 4th, 30 of which were F4 or higher in intensity.
The Xenia tornado, rated an F5, was probably the singularly most damaging.
319 people were killed, a death toll that stood as the record until the 2011 Super Outbreak, a similar phenomenon, killed 324.
