My First Natural Disaster (and also my second)

My first natural disaster when I was two or three and still lived in Wisconsin (at least, the first natural disaster I remember). We were in the car with a very angry tornado behind us. We kept on straight, it turned into the parking lot of what I think was a Walmart or something similar. The second tornado was closer and we stopped at a nearby store (an ice cream shop) and all four of us plus the employee and our dog crammed into the freezer. I really wanted some ice cream. I didn't get ice cream. I was angry. I also wasn't at all worried about the tornado that might kill us all, despite my parents' very worrisome behavior. I just want some dam ice cream. I don't think I ever got that ice cream, even after the tornado left.
