    Serious question. I'm still kinda new. Yeah, Ive heared it a bunch . "I got more miles in reverse......" To the million mile guys and gals I respect that. That's why I'm asking with the season coming up danger in the Midwest and south west. What to do if you spot a tornado in your path? Out run it? bail out and look for shelter?

    Odds are, you'll never be near one. But, if you are...film it.
    and hold your phone sideways.

    Thats what I use to think too but there was a show on twisters and they stated that wasnt such a good idea. But I still would think its better than just sitting in your truck?
