...ummm, hello, there's generally warning of a tornado coming
Steph...I agree with that! I grew up in CA and always thinking "OK if an earthquake hits...which way do I run?" or "What would be safest to crawl under?" I also lived in tornado alley for 5 years...can you say basement? Now I am in hurricane alley if you will! I spent DAYS waiting in (what they call) the cone of death I not only had time to prepare with food and supplies but I painted the bathroom, fixed up the spare room, cleaned out 2 closets, and sorted through pictures, all while my fiancee tuned up all the bikes, cleaned out the garage, and caught up on the finances...before any evacuations were issued!!! We were lucky not to be in any of the many final paths...but if we were, we were definitely ready!

Not to say we are any safer or we aren't likely to be hit but I do like the warning! I hope all you in CA are safe and prepared...
