When I was 15 or so I went out to sit on my front porch to have a glass of water and try to calm down. I don't remember why I was worked up, but I was.
So you are saying that you were angry?
QUOTE
As I was sitting there, feet wide, hands dangling between my knees holding the glass, I was focusing on nothing but the bricks of the stair.
This is a form of meditation I use this all the time

I first learned it in lamaaz (sp?) but's it works fast to get your mind to the level in your subsconscious/conscious mind to see visions and receive messages from spirit.

After some time, I started seeing a wagon train with many people around it, making their way across a field. Suddenly a tornado ripped through and completely destroyed all of the wagons and killed virtually everyone involved. I felt a sharp sensation in my chest and then pressure on my shoulder. I turned away from the image and saw my friend touching my shoulder saying I was really out of it and asking if I was okay. I didn't know what to say. I still don't.
I don't know if it was a past life, or just my over active imagination from being upset already. Any clues?
I hope you don't get too confused with all the ideas on your situation. We can't be 100% sure of most things. I would go by your gut feeling on what this could be.
Do you remember which shoulder you felt pressure on?
With out having the above questions answered, I'm going to offer my own take on the situation and I believe this is a wonderful message.
I believe what you saw was a message from spirit regarding your emotions. Our anger (assuming you meant that when you were worked up) can be much like a tornado destroying everything in its path. It can destroy friendships it can destroy people in general. If the pressure was on left shoulder, this validates the message even further. I often feel pressure/slight pain in my left shoulder and arm when I'm communicating with spirit. The sharp sensation in your chest could have been your heart chakra (energy center) opening up to receive the message.
This is wonderful!! Have you experienced any other visions?
