I grew up in the midwest, for me thunder storms are nothing but heavy rain and a light show, but scare the xxxx out of many people

Tornado's you can't predict the path and evacuate, I was there for Black Wednesday, I watched funnels go by North and South of me, the damage was tremendous, more than any hurricane, over a much wider area covering many states, From Alabama to Michigan and Kansas to Pennsylvania

I think the count was 156 tornados in one 24 hr period

So while a life long Floridian might be Blasie about hurricanes a transplant is not

And if that Floridian moved to the midwest, he might not be so calm when facing a tornado threat, while an Okie will climb into the storm cellar when the sirens go off, and hope his home up above him is still there when he comes out

I'm from the Midwest also.
You most certainly don't get a weeks notice for a tornado like you do for a Hurricane! You're lucky if its 2 minutes! Look up, erie green sky, and you better take cover.

And yup X10. You get in the basement.
Where it is safe and you hope there is still something standing above the basement when it's all over. But most do survive IF they get the time to take cover in a basement.

None of the houses in Florida have basements.
Try wrapping a midwestern brain around that! When since the day you were born, every house you lived in had a safe secure basement. I still have a hard time with not having a basement.

Oh, and by the way when a Floridian claims that tornadoes are 'no big deal', and they have them in Florida too?

Yea they do have them. They have F0 and F1 tornadoes.:R

Come on up North sometime and experience real tornadoes at F5's and F6's!! Been there did that and lucky to still be here alive!:B
