I was certainly aware of the tornado damage in 2007, the year we purchased our first CYV.
I didn't realize it was an extremely rare occurrence.

Then I learned that if a tornado is seriously expected, your Weather Radio will advise of a tornado WARNING.
And you can watch local television to see if your area is truly in danger.
With a weather radio, programmed by the local Fire Department, you can be aware of all weather events.

I was just sitting on my lanai watching for a funnel cloud and enjoying the cool breeze. With luck, a few Canadian lobsters would have fallen from the sky
