While I dont live in Mississippi or some of the other areas where they strike we get them too. You just cant miss everything. I choose to live on a hill, knowing that the wind will get some things, even without a tornado. My thinking is flood is a far more frequent risk.
There are areas here that get hit harder and more frequently than others. I think it has something to do with the arrangement of the rivers. Where I live, we get much less wind damage than the other farm 7 miles away, and also get significantly less rain (like 8 in per year less on average)
To me, tornados are the least of the really bad natural disasters. Normally lots of warning on when conditions are right for them. Just go to the basement and make sure to keep your insurance paid up. What amazes me is seeing people who survive any of these disasters, are obviously ok though shaken up, and obviously have means to have adequate insurance all upset over stuff. I"m not depreciating people who suffer injury or death but the rest is just stuff. Buy plenty of insurance, and dont get overly attached to material things, think smart and plan for what disaster may strike your way and then roll with it. Maybe its just me but I dont get sentimental over things; land, maybe; people, definitely; but the rest is just stuff.
