just had the 3rd (unusual for NorCal) tornado alert, gotta love the lack of local knowledge, from pronunciation of the areas affected to "the safest place is in a basement" er, this is California - doubt if even 10% of the homes in this state have a basement! the next best advice is to be in an inside hall and if outside, in a car or in a mobile home (after seeing the aftermath of both tornado's and earthquakes on mobile home parks I figure who ever controls things does not like mobile homes) is to "lay down in a ditch and cover your head" now think about this for a second, tornado's are spawned by severe thunder storms and the ditches tend to be filled with cold water?
