Sure Ray, but a tornado can hit you about anywhere. The way I see it, get out if it's a 4 or 5, no question. 3s are iffy, in my book. I've been through weak 3s, but not a strong 3. I think I'd leave if it's 130ish. I've been through 115-120 sustained.
BTW, I'm pretty sure you can get hurricane force winds on top of a mountain, given the right conditions...

I have seen abot 70 mph winds at my other house but were no hours of sustained winds
I was not here for wilma but got here 2 days after for the clean up which was not fun and was strange to see a row of houses that were untouched and a row bhind them with only foundations left
I have live in South fla off and on for 53 years and have seen enough storms to last the rest of my life

Jason(HkUSP) is our chiropractor, and Mike (tenn) is our head of police (basically he runs the radar at the end of the dragstrip)

Here's hurricane Erin hitting my place directly back in '95.
It was a good one, but only a Cat 1. But it is strange how these storms can tear some houses apart, and leave others seemingly untouched. It was like that down in Terrytown & Belle Chasse (suburbs of New Orleans) where I was after Katrina.

Hey now. I have no intentions of doing that, at least not until I'm over 1000 HP.[/quote]
If anybody can get a 1000hp you can
I can build the crates to ship the compost from all the **** for some income.
It's not bad in southeast mo. in the winter only a few days below 0.
I have about 150000 bdft. of lumber on hand,for any buildings to go up.

come to think of it, I dont do below 32 very well either(at least not sustained) I can take a cool morning, and a cool evening, but it HAS to warm up during the day.

Once it gets below 0 it feels the same...Cold. I just finished a tour in Alaska. The worst thing I noticed about the cold is my PSD. They hate the cold. Other than that I came to enjoy the weather. I am from north Texas so the cold was new to me. I already miss it.
