storms always put me asleep I just love the song of thunder. Im not sure is going to sleep in the middle of a really bad storm is a good thing though but what the hell at least I get a good nights rest even if i dont get up EVER!
the UK gets more tornadoes per square mile than any other place in the world. It's because there's tons of areas in the U.S. that barely ever get twisters ...if you averaged just the midwest the UK would be beat 3 times over probably, but yea. You guys should have a few .
My parents are going to buy a storm shelter after this last near miss last November. The chances of it being that close again are low but yea ...just to be safe .
I used to live in central Colorado, near Pikes Peak. Tornadoes were unheard of when you were within an hour's drive to the mountains. But up here, there was one about a mile from my house last summer.
D'you get a lot of Thunderstorms up there then? If not, then you probably get a lot of rain.

It's also because we're so tiny --> approx. 245,000km2 - a bit smaller than Wyoming.
I'd like to see a Tornado... and possibly a hurricane.
We're not blessed enough to get them over here that often. And when they do appear, they usually hit Birmingham, and I'm not in Birmingham.
Blessed?! i'd like to see how "blessed" you think you are when you get sucked up in one. you must be nuts..... and no i already realized this a looong time ago...
I'd still like to see one. It must be a pretty spectacular site - seeing a Tornado or a Hurricane bearing down on some tiny little village. Even more so to see a strong city being ripped to shreads by wind.
That's actually a pretty good idea... but you'd need somewhere where there are a LOT of Tornadoes and/or hurricanes. If those only the odd one or two, you ain't getting any money.
Talking about Storms - The Great Red Spot on Jupiter has got a smaller sibling... and they're on a crash course in a bit - first of all it's a chance to see how the Great Red Spot formed, and second of all, the fireworks! Well not literally, but, yeah.
