Tornados

<< < (6/8) > >>

umberto:
Good point. In that big 2013 tornado, one of the weathermen told people to flee the tornado.  Several people got stuck in traffic and died.  Most people that are hurt in a storm aren't hurt when hiding, they're usually hurt because they are driving or away from home. Only the biggest tornadoes, which are pretty rare, can level a house and really hurt people that are hiding in a closet or bathroom.  Safe rooms and tornado shelters are becoming much more common thankfully. Ours is steel reinforced concrete with a steel entry door. They make your survival chances a lot better. Unfortunately you can't get a dirt bike in there. :-D

Keeping an eye on News 4 with Emily Sutton, I run from tornado's.
If they start my way, I load the dog and head N.N.W.
Most tornado's track N.E.
As of lately thru the Moore Oklahoma area, S. of OKC.
My girlfriend has kin in the Tuttle area but they were not affected.
So far they haven't caused a problem for me, just wish I could say that for others.

Foxx4Beaver:
good to see you're still with us Danger...
I'm with ya, I'd run too....years ago when I was a little kid I always said I wanted to see one, but now that I'm older and understand the devastation and pain it causes people/families, I'm good and all set with witnessing one.

umberto:
One actually hit my house when I was a kid.  Seeing one up close is highly overrated.   :-D

Danger4u2:
Here we go again.  Long line of storms crossing the whole state.
Coming through here in 45 minutes.
Looks like the big one will go south of us.
