Take the TN storms seriously. Two people were killed in Lincoln County, TN in the latest bunch of storms; many other casualties in other southern states in the same storms. Lincoln County has real bad storms from time to time resulting in deaths. This idea the news media is pushing that there’s a “safe place” in most any house during a storm is just that - somebody’s idea. If a tornado hits a house, only a pile of splinters is left. Dig yourself a storm cellar; even a cheap earthen one is a haven during a tornado. We once took refuge in a small earthen storm house dug out in the side of a hill and covered with a wooden door.
I have a 3000 sq ft basement including some wings that are literally rock sided with concrete roof
Pretty safe unless an F5 parks on it
My land is on a rise in a valley with 6-800 foot sharp gradient
But I have seen exceptions....I think where Kenny Chesney is from in east TN is a more distinct valley but still got hit
Worst outbreak I ever saw was Camille....she spun tornados everywhere
Spring 1971 miss delta outbreak which destroyed Inverness Miss was bad
The tornado belt has moved north maybe 150 miles since my youth in the south
England is most funnel cloud spot in the world but they are smallish and much less destructive
