Default As tornadoes pummel the American South, and 100s are killed/hurt, are all our RF members safe?
The trouble started here in Texas Tuesday night. Four tornadoes hit within 20 miles of our home in northeast Texas, and we spent two hours alternating between watching the radar on TV in the den, to standing in awe on the front porch watching the 55,000 recorded lightning strikes, to bolting for the "small, windowless, interior room" as the trees in the yard whipped around like balloons on a string.

We were lucky - only two people killed, and just a few injuries, though of course there's lots of wind damage, and some really cool videos. Personally, our home and our family are fine.

But others along a huge swath across the South are devastated. Are any RF members or their families affected by these storms? If so, what can we do to help?

By the way, the month of April usually hosts about 100 tornadoes in the United States. So far this month there have been nearly 900 tornadoes - and the month of May, which is normally a big tornado month, is still looming ahead.

I can't believe that in 2011 people die in storms in the United States. One or two, ok. But more than 100? I've lived in tornado alley all my life, and I've seen my fair share of tornados. It's hard to get killed if you're taking proper shelter.

They would be ugly, but if houses were built with "round" roofs, there would definitely be less damage.

You're kidding.

An F5 tornado doesn't rip off roofs. It destroys everything on the surface of the earth.

High winds have less affect on surfaces that deflect it.

The way you said it the first time made me think of a home with a dome roof rather than a home that was a dome.

Big difference.

Hope you will stay safe!

Those things must certainly be frightening.

I know this is very off-topic, but would anyone mind giving me an answer to the following question: I have noticed that many houses in the USA are made of wood. Is this the standard everywhere or just in specific states?
