I'll think I'll keep my hurricanes and nor'easters thank you!
I've been through those also. Thankfully I have a concrete reinforced bunker built into the side of a hill now.
Bunker saves lives but a tornado could take everything else. That would still really suck.
My husband came home from Afghanistan in 2001 for break, his family just finished Thanksgiving dinner and a tornado hit his parents home. His mother was killed. He and his dad were badly injured.
Also he and his uncles were the soldiers who had to bury all the children who died in Hope Arkansas, when a tornado struck a orphanage. Bill Clinton wanted to stick all the children (2000 of them) in a mass potters grave. Believe it or not GWB jr. gave them a proper burial in Texas.
