I think in 2011 we had enough tornadoes to satisfy us for awhile. At one point we had >8 tornado warnings in a row but none touched down nearby. The one in Smithville that did touchdown was an F-5.

One of them came thru a few hundred feet of my house that evening. It was so windy and stormy out, with lightning, thunder and rain, I didn’t hear it. I was FReeping about the tornadoes at the exact time. But I knew one was close. You know how? The overpowering smell of pine.

Sure enough, in the morning, went out and drove around. Down the road a little ways, HUNDREDS of downed loblolly and long leaf pine one of my neighbors had.
