Storms like that are a semi-regular occurrence in my area. Typically at least 2-5 times per year on average (sometimes less, sometimes more). It happens with thunderstorms, and other times with regular ol' fall and winter storms. I don't even flinch when they forecast 65 mph (100+ km/h) winds anymore. lol Seen it countless times. But with high winds associated with thunderstorms in particular, I always keep an eye on the weather as it's happening, just in case.
Luckily, tornadoes in my area are very rare, but I have seen twisting clouds several times before. Once literally directly over my house when the clouds were aqua-green coloured.

Since I've been in the area I'm in now, there was a brief tornado touchdown about 6 miles (10 km) north of me once, and one time in the neighbourhood where I grew up, right at the end of my street there was a water spout that came off the lake (a rare occurrence) that snapped several massive trees, flipped a car and peeled up the corner of a fourplex apartment building. It happened while we were asleep. lol
Other than that, twisters tend to be rare in my area. Tornadoes, no, but high winds, tree-snapping downburst and straight line winds, derecho storms, cloud bursts and extreme rain, flooding, hail, etc., yes. Ohhhhhh, I've got stories to tell. LOTS of them. lol
Myself, though, I made sure everything is co-pathetic around the house.
