I agree with you, I have been thru tornados and though they are unpredictable,sometimes leaving so much damage, I think I could deal w/ those better than earthquakes. I remember the day many tornados hit TX in 97 I believe. It was pretty outside and then just all of a sudden,the sky was dark, out in the country the siren was barely heard. I ran to the neighbors, only to look onto the hill where our house was to see a tornado hovering above it, but God seemed to work a miracle but it never touched down. That was the day the pavement was torn off of streets and many died in Jarrell, TX. I pray for all of those hurt, those who lost loved ones and homes in devastating weather. God brought us a miracle, the only thing we ever had to do was fix windshields and replace roofs. I'm glad that technology is coming closer to try their best to predict severe weather and that when there is, they make sure sometimes to work hours on end getting the weather to you instead of making some people mad, not being able to watch their shows, they just leave the weather on so that anyone can get to it. They have weather radio's that have sirens incase you aren't around a tv and miss the national weather service alert, they sound the alarm on those certain radios so you can't miss it. Even have weather alerts being able to be sent to cell phones.

God Bless you and your family NW. I'm glad yall are safe after those tornados.
Take care!
