My entire life experience with tornados is from watching the movie
"Twister" which I have seen a dozen times. In the movie, there is a
lot of flying debris on all sides of the tornado, sometimes at great
distance, which is very similar to the flying debris we get in our storms
down here. I still think a horse is better off being able to see debris
coming and using his natural instinct to run from it, than being trapped
in a barn where he cannot see what's coming (only hear it) and cannot run,
which must cause an unnatural and unpleasant state of fear.
