No, I wasn't here at the time, but if you read my post you'll note that I said that the damage from a tornado can be devastating. But, they don't hit here very often, ( I think there were 16 in the past fifty years and most of them were CAT F0) and the destruction path is usually fairly narrow. There is not the widespread destruction that a severe hurricane can bring.
Tornadoes are very serious and are terrifying because the leave nothing in their wake. They destroy everything. Had I been caught in one like some of the people here were in 2007, I might become overcautious as well. But to look at it objectively, the chances of getting hit by a tornado here are very slim.
