tornadoes ARE horrible, but very fast and localized.
i was in florida for MANY 'canes, and Andrew in Miami environs destroyed two of my family members' homes completely and they lost everything they ever owned. my aunt nearly was killed hiding in a bathtub while her roof tore off. all their sentimental things gone forever. it destroyed lives and everything for miles around. it looked like Hiroshima.
and of course there was Katrina.
tornadoes are scary as shit too. 'canes will spawn them.
the only times i have truly been afraid in my life were when a hurricane was aimed at me.
