Texas Tornadoes vs. Florida Hurricanes

The night before flying out to Philly was a scary night. The local news stations took over the TV channels with up-to-the-minute news tracking all of the tornado sightings in the area. When a tornado was sighted they would give the next town a five-minute warning to find shelter. The storms were moving at 40 mph. Winds were around 60 mph. We experienced some small hail. With such short notice for us to run to the only non-mobile shelter (the public bathrooms), we ended up getting dressed and putting on shoes in order to be ready to run if necessary. I'm not sure I could live like that. I prefer having my 5-days notice and I could fly out of the area if I choose.
