I was out watching the sky and it was amazing. The lightening flashes were near constant, it was as light as dusk at midnight. While a tornado with hail and drenching rain was only 2 miles away it was almost calm here. Little wind and no rain at all.

That is common. Tornadoes most often only hit a very small area. It will devastate what it hit, but 6 blocks away it is fine. Hurricanes decimate large areas or an entire metropolis, tornadoes just hit a few blocks and lever the other areas fine.
It can be scary if you have no warning.
