It's been a long time since I've shaken that much... either from being scared or because my basement was freezing.

Glad to hear you guys and your families are alright. It's unfortunate to hear about those who lost from these tornadoes. I guess it makes me thankful that I live on the East Coast and far away from tornado alley.

I don't know about that japantv. It seems the east coast, or at least the southeast have been getting tornado's recently.

Yes, but it's still not as common as in Tornado Alley.

Even with the high numbers of tornados it's still very unlike to get hit. It's not like hurricanes which come in and smash everyone.
People forget that tornados are EXTREMELY localized, except for the gigantic ones which are very rare, they usually just come down for a minute, and go away and few if anyone even see it.
The big one that I posted the video of yesterday actually was about 2 miles away from me, in 15 years in Oklahoma that was the first time I was ever in any lagitimate danger.
I would actually venture to say that the blizzard we had in February was a lot more dangerous than anything that happened this week.
