If you get hit by a tornado and claim there was no
warning, you weren't paying attention to the TV or
weather radio. And there's generally a tornado watch
or severe thunderstorm watch in effect at the time.
Current NWS radar can give 20 to 30 minutes warning.
And in actuality a tornado or a hurricane is a rare
event compared to daily weather. A tornado affects
only a small area, and certainly it is, if that small
area happens to be YOUR house.


I don't understand, however, people that insist on
living in a flood plain, and rebuild after being
flooded out repeatedly.
