If you get hit by a tornado and claim there was no warning, you weren't paying attention to the TV or weather radio. And there's generally a tornado watch or severe thunderstorm watch in effect at the time. Current NWS radar can give 20 to 30 minutes warning. And in actuality a tornado or a hurricane is a rare event compared to daily weather. A tornado affects only a small area, and certainly it is, if that small area happens to be YOUR house. I don't understand, however, people that insist on living in a flood plain, and rebuild after being flooded out repeatedly.
