I've been in Texas 20 years, and witnessed one tornado.
May 27, 1997 15:30 F5 tornado Jarrell, Tx.
200 mph winds a mile wide at 20 MPH.
I lived in Texas from 1963 to 1974 near Wichita Falls. I saw all the tornados I wish to see. Storm chasing there consists of walking outside and getting on top of the house. I was glad to have not been there on April 10, 1979. Now I live in Mississippi and have dodged three that have trailed within 1-4 miles of my house.
