I feel the same about tornado-prone areas. I wouldn't be able to function during outbreaks, although I guess you get used to it. But at least with hurricanes you get a warning way in advance.

Ironically, Erika was in the same exact time of the year last year too.

It reached 91 F today, even if it didn't feel like it. Large diurnal range after a 56 F low.

And even then you could end up a disappointment with something like Hurricane Floyd 1999.

Especially at night. And even if you can get out of the way, if an F4 or F5 tornado hits your house you won't have a house. Not worth it IMO to live in a high risk area like Alabama or Oklahoma.

True, though if I'm not mistaken Floyd gave us some good rains. I don't remember it much honestly lol.

I lived in Mississippi during the outbreak in April 2011. The only thing that kept me sane was telling myself repeatedly that tornadoes followed very narrow paths and the probability of my town being one of the ones hit was extremely small.

What part? Were you near any of the tornadoes?

This is a car in Smithville after it bounced off the water tower in the background. Let me know when a hurricane does that.

Yeah, it's true tornadoes are stronger and cause more destruction. Hell there's been tornadoes that have had winds of more than 300 mph. Half of that (150 mph) is a VERY powerful hurricane.
