Are you not fearful to live in tornado-prone areas?

I live near Knoxville, and yesterday night, an EF2 tornado raked through Morgan County, killing a mother and her daughter. This was a long-lived supercell, and I remember watching it strengthen north of Cookeville and travel across multiple counties. It ended up passing through just barely north of downtown Knoxville. It was a scary night for sure.

East Tennessee had seen an increase in tornado activity these past 3 years. Just last year, another tornado struck Morgan County. I have a friend that lives in a distant county, and every year for the past 4 years, an actual tornado warning is issued for his area.

A couple years ago, an EF2 tornado struck near where I live.

I live in one and I am fearful

I live in one and used to it

I don't live in an area like this

I avoid these areas, but tornado happen everywhere in my state. If I had to live in an area that had tornados a lot, I would make sure that my home was structurally engineered to withstand tornados. This means being able to withstand 150 mile an hour winds, and requires stronger windows and properly designed roofs.

I live in one and I'm used to it. That's what house insurance and a storm shelter is for

[ForevrLonely29]

What about nighttime tornadoes? Are you prepared to be able to wake up and seek shelter fast enough? Look what happened to Cookeville in 2020.

[LazerBean]

Yeah, been there and done that plenty fo times.
