I don't really believe it's that horrible, no.
I'll NEVER forget Friday, April 13, 2007 tho. There was this big storm heading straight for us with a lot of rotation in it (what causes tornadoes to form) and my parents got called out to keep an eye on it since they're storm spotters. Since there was already rotation being seen on the radar thing, my sister and I went with them and we went to go park in this church parking lot.
I was sitting in the back, messing with my cell in an attempt to keep from stressing out and there were a bunch of boy scouts getting dropped off at this one house next to the church for a meeting. My dad was watching the radar on his labtop and when he was looking at it this red circle popped up over our city showing that there was rotation in the clouds right over us and when that happens a tornado can drop at any time.
So then my dad was like "Uhhh, Jen? (my mom) We've got rotation!" And then! They ended up calling this other dude with the weather station and he checked and saw it too! And then! My dad called this other guy and told him he needed to set the sirens off and my mom went RUNNING over to where the boy scouts were to tell them that the sirens were about to go off and to get under cover and the leader was looking at her like she didn't know what she was talking about until the sirens started going off like 5 seconds later, at which time he looked at her like this: O__O and started to round up the kids.
And then! My sister and I were sent to take cover in the church so we ran in and took cover in this bathroom with a class of three year olds and sang songs while golf ball sized hail was pounding on the roof. My mom actually got hit in the head with one while trying to get a picture of a funnel cloud. xD

That was probably the most frightening (and awesome) Friday the 13th I've ever lived through. Hopefully it won't happen again for a LONG time.
