Oh lord girl! Stay safe ! Gads when I lived on the prairies of Alberta my house was lashed to the ground with cables due to tornadoes!! I used to get in my truck and head the opposite direction of the spinners when I saw them touching down too close to my domain .... thrilling but often scary as Hades!!

There was a tornado in the area back in the 1970's, when I was living "up north".  Part of the Fresno Air Terminal was torn off.  Since I have no basement or storm shelter, if a tornado made its way back this way, I think I'm supposed to get in a closet...there are two good-sized ones in the master bedroom, and the bathroom has no windows, either, so there's another option.  If I'm out an about, I've read the least dangerous place I can be is in a ditch, ideally a low tunnel of some sort. 

In the early days it was very small and DIY. It link was just me link and the enameler working in this very cold shop and what I remember clearly is how hands-on he was. Getting link to see his process was really illuminating.
