(4,408 posts)I choose neither. In OK we had sirens, great weather coverage and training on what to do. Tornados move in fairly straight NE direction so good gauge of whether you are in the path, plus lots of storm cellars. Tornadoes also sound like freight trains. In TX no sirens, spotty weather coverage, but love TX more. Did you know there can be tornadoes within hurricanes, allong with a 30 ft wall of water like Katrina. Hurricanes can hop around and change their target, last for hours with trees falling on houses, trees and houses stripped and peeled before actual eye hits, with shelter that actually breathes in and out with the strain of screaming winds outside, then fierce storm for an hour, then relative quiet although roof is still being stripped off and oh yes the water is rising in the house...
Just a note, Bay St. Louis, MS, looked much like these photos after Hurricane Katrina. No one deserves that pain, but nature and life happens.
