Is there a part of Texas that doesn't have tornadoes? What is the weather like in far west Texas...not the panhandle, (NW).

El Paso? Or Big Bend? Desert that's hot/dry in the summers and chilly in the winter.

According to the Tornado Project, El Paso County and Presidio County (both far West Texas, mountainous along the Mexican border) have each had only 5 tornadoes since 1950. That is the fewest in the state. Several other far West Texas counties also have low numbers (in the teens).

El Paso is going to be the only area thats practically devoid of them.

Even Saragosa, which is at the base of the mountains, got hit by an F4 tornado in 1987 killing 30.

You may as well not think too much about it. Even Salt Lake City took a tornado on some years ago. All it takes is the right warm and cool air masses to meet up and that's that.

You might be able to skip out on tornadoes, but with the "fear of nature" in ya brother, some other calamity will probably be awaiting in exchange. It's probably better and healthier to accept the wildness of nature, than to create a fantasy safe nest. I've never worried about tornadoes, and that's probably why they've often been near me, but out of range of harm and danger. Maybe fear attracts danger, and no-fear leads to safety? Perhaps that's how the universe works...

You might be right about that. I have a huge fear of tornadoes and have been hit 3 times by them. But living so close to the coast I'm much more afraid of hurricanes. Not only do hurricanes bring high wind and flooding but they also bring tornadoes with them. For someone so afraid of natural disasters I seem to live in pretty much the worst place for them.
