@nuleafjhawk I always enjoyed watching people freak out in Lawrence over 40mph wind, in all honesty it’s funny as hell as that’s a nearly weekly occurrence here during the spring.
Seen many a tornado. The odds of one actually hitting your house is so infinitely small it’s not really a concern -plus I have a basement and good insurance. If there is a tornado in all likelihood all I will experience is hail, wind, and rain.
Usually in a nasty storm it’s better to go outside and see what’s coming than hunker down all scared in the basement. But I live in an area with zero hills and very few trees that weren’t planted. If you can see them they really aren’t that scary, just be prepared.
During the most recent local tornado I was out in a few wheat fields working. I lost the pictures or I’d post there here, was an impressive cone.
