Don't have to tell me.

34 years in the Midwest and I had never seen a tornado or the start of one. Lots of sirens yes but not the real thing.

But I'm sure those people in Xenia , Ohio whose city was leveled by a F5 tornado back on April 3rd, 1974 probably have a different take on those tornado chances.

As I said there is a chance pretty much anywhere one lives something unpleasant can come down the street.

And yet 21 years here in GA, and I've already had 6 tornadoes touch down (go over under, around and through) the immediate 5 miles radius of my house and business; and four hurricanes go rumbling overhead on their way north from the Gulf.
