The scariest experience just happened to me!

So Im in a suburb of Chicago right now for training for work, and we're on the 14th floor (the top floor) of this huge building. So our trainer went outside the classroom and saw that the weather had turned really bad. (which is crazy cause it was just sunny an hour earlier at lunch) So she came back in the classroom and said....'I dont want to scare you guys, but the weather has turned really bad so I want to go over the emergency evacuation procedure with you in case of a tornado.' SCARY! So she tells us what the evac procedure is and then lets us go on a 5 minute break.
As we're on break, a woman comes down our hall and says...'Everyone needs to get to the basement, theres a tornado coming!' Honestly, I almost shat my pants when I heard this! So everyone starts freaking out and heads to the stair well as we were earlier instructed to do. So were sitting in the stair well...you could hear the wind, you could feel the building shaking, the lights were flickering on and off!!!! It was one of the scariest moments in my life, no joke! So our instructor FINALLY decided...hey, maybe we should get to the basement. So we walked 14 floors, as fast as we could, down to the basement where we waited it out.
So eventually we got word that the tornado had passed and came back up to the room. The administrators decided to let everyone in the building go home early cause apparently their are more severe storms likely for this evening and they dont want people to be stuck in traffic. There are all kinds of tree branches in the roads and powerlines down!
Honestly ladies, other than spiders and small spaces, there is nothing I fear more than tornados. This was like my worst nightmare come true! Im surprised at how well I handled it, but I think that was due to all the strangers that I was surounded by. I didnt want them to think I was crazy. Now im just sitting in my hotel room praying to God that another tornado does not come anywhere near here!
