I am frightened by them, as I have seen first hand the devastation they can do in neighborhoods near mine (in MO), but they also thrill me. It's so weird, because as I said no other thrill factor attracts me. I can't even watch most thriller/horror movies. I guess it's because it's nature. David called me from work to tell me about the tornado warning right before the sirens went off, and he said "Don't go outside, but I know you will anyway." He knows me too well.
