As a storm chaser I cant stress enough how important it is to take weather seriously! I mean I have seen over and over how violent weather can be! A hurricane is no exception no matter what the intensity is. Talking tornadoes for example?! I have seen Greensburg, KS obliterated and then a year later Parkersburg, IA was wiped out! In 2005 everyone saw what New Orleans had to endure! People thought they would be o.k. and then they were screaming for help. In 1992 Andrew came through and destroyed thousands of homes! Remember the damage that was caused in the 1990s by tornadoes! If anything remember the super outbreak of 1974. April 3rd and 4th rendered 148 tornadoes with 2 F5s, one in Depauw, IN (my home state) and one in Xenia, OH (famous one) with multiple F4s in the same system. Mother nature can unleash fury on almost any location with little notice! If you do not live in tornado alley then you live out west in earthquake prone areas, not to mention forest fires. I am just stunned sometimes, that people don't take heed and flee. I guess people really dont know what they are up against?! I can tell you from experience it is awful. If you can help it, you do not want to go threw something like that!
