Very unfortunate. :(
Heather asked me a good question: Where would we go if a tornado hit? Well, there are hurricane corridor signs around here, for people to get inland for those, but tornadoes, while there is some warning, there's not really enough to get GONE.
Essentially, you just have to take cover when you hear the siren.
Except on Wednesday, we didn't HEAR the siren, because the rain was SO loud! But my best friend's son (age 13) called me from his mom's house, worried that we'd be scared. He reminded me that if we heard a twister coming, to stay away from any windows. The only room that would be is the kitchen; it's interior, with house all around it, so we'd have to hunker down there and hope for the best.
I think it's still better than CA earthquakes; at least with tornadoes you know to batten down the hatches/brace yourself/prepare for impact kind of thing. No matter where you go, there's something...
