We have lived through tornado watches/warnings in NC, but here at least there's a basement with a concrete bunker area that would be a really safe place to go in a warning situation, so I actually feel safer here than some of the places we've lived in NC. I also recently read an article on weather.com that listed cities in order of how many tornadoes had hit over the past so many decades. KC was actually quite a ways down the list. Many more Florida cities are much more tornado prone than KC. Check it out -- KC is #33 on the list:
