Default Re: Does anyone have a weather radio?

If a tornado hit "direct" I doubt it would really matter. With CBS you do have 4 block walls surrounding you, but what is most likely to go first is the roof, windows and garage doors and when that happens you may be safer from flying debrie in a CBS but you would still get soaking wet with most of your property ruined.

If its not a direct hit, from a personal perspective, I am more comfortable wth CBS be it a tornado or a more likely occurance a hurricane. Again you have to worry about the roof and windows. What caused alot of the damage to homes were the decorative stones that people use in landscaping....the tornado winds blew them through windows and against siding that caused all sorts of damage.
