Thanks dianavan.

Good thinking, LtS!

I haven't been in any tornadoes here as of yet (and hope I never am)... but from the damage I've seen in the news from some of them, they can not only destroy the kind of dwelling I'm in (a trailer), they can kill people with projectiles. Our walls aren't sufficient to stop those, and our "wee hoose" could become airborn rather easily.

What I have learned is that the tornadoes form on the eastern side of the hurricane. That seems to be the side we are on more times than not. I suspect that New Orleans tends to be on the west side of the storm most of the time.
