“...I’ll take a hurricane over a tornado ANYDAY....”
I’ll pass on BOTH if at all possible... They both suck.
Hurricane Sandy almost brought a tree down on my kitchen; my son and I threw ourselves onto the trunk and PUSHED it away from the house as it started uprooting. No exaggeration.
Not a fun time... not at all.
Oh I understand what you mean. We have 9 old tall pine trees lining the driveway along the side of the house. They are line trees so the town told us they do not want to cut them down. (probably a tree hugger). They probably a good 100 years old. Nobody wants to lose their home but at least with a hurricane you get 3 weeks notice to get away to save your life whereas with a tornado you have seconds to only minutes to get away.
Regarding property damage, there’s no difference and in fact you’re less likely to get hit by a tornado than a hurricane but I my comment was referring to saving one’s life.
I sure do hope all is better for you now.
