          A tornado is at most 1 mile wide and most are only 100 meters wide. You can evade them if you're out driving around. Kinda hard to avoid a 1000 mile wide hurricane

            with a tornado you get like a 15 second warning, with a hurricane you can have several days to prepare or even evacuate. :P

                we can also visit the tornado of 74 in Brandenburg, Kentucky where my family lived at the time. my grandmother had just about the entire street in her basement at the time. leveled every house on the street except for hers.









                31 people died that hour and almost 300 injured.

                can you tell i loathe tornados?



                148 Tornadoes>2598 miles>315 Deaths>5484 injured. in 1 day.

                  This happened 8 years ago about 20 miles from where I live..







                  I couldn't find the pic that graced the front of the Austin paper the next morning.. it was like those last two, but showed the whole neigborhood. There was no debris. It just picked up all the houses, cars, asphalt and people and sucked them away. It was the scariest tornado damage pic I ever saw. The people who did the cleanup were severely traumatized because they found their friends hundreds of yards away all ripped apart.. turned inside out by the incredible force of this thing.

                  Yeah, I think tornadoes are a bit worse than hurricanes.. mainly for the reasons Liz gave.. that there is sufficient warning of hurricanes now. There was not such warning in 1900 or 1935, when people living on low-lying islands were just out of luck.

                    well shit. i was supposed to go visit my Father in the panhandle two days from now. I don't see it going as smoothly as we were planning though. especially since i was supposed to fly out of Pensacola

                          south florida rarely gets tornados by the way.

                          which is weird i say that because last summer i was eating breakfast with my friend vinnie when a tornado went through the golfcourse straight past his condo. crazyness.

                            Having lived in Florida and now Oklahoma, I dare say I'd take neither. Admittedly I've been through more tornados than hurricanes (partly due to nearby hurricanes producing lovely 'little' waterspouts), but I've seen the aftermath of both. If the tornado occurs during the day, then I'd definitely take it over a hurricane; however, it has been my experience that tornados have an affinity for dusk and full dark.

                            That said, there is something far more menacing and personable about a tornado -- something that makes it alive and unpredictable.
