I was downtown Nashville when the tornado came through in 1998.
I ducked into a parking garage which was completely safe underground, but it sounded like a train was going over our heads. When I came out there was trash all over the place. I only lived about 4 or 5 miles away but it took me all day to get home. Lots of big trees blown down all over the place.
Almost no one had cell phones back then. The landlines were overwhelmed, and it was not until much later that night that I was able to get through to my parents and let them know I was alright.
