We get warnings and watches very frequently anymore, compared to how it used to be, but rarely does one touch down. We had a wild storm last week that appears to have been a small tornado, hit about a half mile down the road from here. Huge old trees just ripped right out of the ground for a stretch of 5 houses, and a tree thru the roof of a mobile home right past that. I'm pretty much protected with woods on all sides, whereas those places are right by open farmland. It rained and blew so hard, that it looked like it was blowing snow, and the wind just howled like in a blizzard or hurricane. I only lost a limb from one of the big maples, and it tossed the gas grill around. Weather like that can be pretty darn scary, but it pales in comparison to what storms in the Tornado Alley do.
