One time when I was younger, probably 3rd grade, there was a tornado watch in the area. We never get tornadoes so it wasn't like the town was on lock down, but there was a possibility. My parents had to go to the grocery store and they took me and my sister with, and after we left the grocery store, they drove us near the field where the tornado was forming and stopped the car

we sat there for like a minute with my sister and I screaming for us to go home, then they finally drove us home. It never amounted to anything but it was still a scarring experience

I don't know why they did that.
