I've been dealing with tornadoes every year of my life.

Living in the Atlanta area (just south of, really) and then in northern Florida and for 3 years in eastern Tennessee, and now back in Georgia since '96 - I've yet to see a year without at *least* one tornado.

I've become kind of immune to the fear part. At least, as long as I'm at home and know where my pets are...

As a kid, we'd get everything down in the basement. As an adult, I've had to go the closet or bathroom route.

I've been fortunate to never be hit by one directly, though they've ravaged each city I've lived in and some surrounding cities.

There were even a couple of times on a trip from my Mom's (in Georgia) back to Tennessee where I was travelling in the wake of tornadoes. You could see the paths they'd taken across the road in front of me not minutes before.

I think if I didn't have pets, I'd be one of those 'storm chasers'.
