My entire life experience with tornados is from watching the movie 
"Twister" which I have seen a dozen times. <BG>  In the movie, there is a 
lot of flying debris on all sides of the tornado, sometimes at great 
distance, which is very similar to the flying debris we get in our storms 
down here.   I still think a horse is better off being able to see debris 
coming and using his natural instinct to run from it, than being trapped 
in a barn where he cannot see what's coming (only hear it) and cannot run, 
which must cause an unnatural and unpleasant state of fear.
