More tornadoes?!
I live in the city, so I'm pretty safe, but we've already had like 8 around the city & districts in the last three days. Apparently they're watching again today. I don't remember tornadoes like this happening before. Storm chasers from Oklahoma came up and nearly got themselves swept away.
CTV news was reporting a tornado the size of several football fields.

4. tornados are VERY rare here, but the old owners told me a small
one came right behind the house about 12 years ago. some folks I know who live a mile east of me said that one took out their neighbor's MH just 3 doors down from where they live

and we all know God hates Mobile Homes :rofl:

but again, they are very rare here. thank heaven!

6. Sorry, but that's an urban myth.
Tornadoes can get you anywhere, even in the city.

Not trying to be a dink, just letting you know for you own safety.
