[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 157108, member: 455"] Terry, it is true, in PA where I was it was the Poconos and very mountains so tornados really didn't occur (however 3 years ago they did have a rare streak of ones that went through!). I did figure we'd have run ins with hurricanes here due to location. I'm not real concerned about them, to some degree because they can become pretty bad of course (not as quickly like a tornado). I lived in Florida for a year and a half and when through hurricanes there, actually drove out in a tropical storm when I was only 16! Stupid me at the time. We I am literally located I'm not so sure we could get flooded out. There is a creek near the house but it would have to rise up about 30 feet and then it would have to rise further to affect the house. Other then that there is no other water sources. Winds, yes, there are trees in our back yard but no other trees in the subdivision otherwise (they line the ridge on this side only). It's pretty open here. We have posted evacuation routes that I think are for hurricanes but then again more likely it's for the nuclear plant as there is a whole emergency plan in place for those located within a certain range and we get information through the mail continously as to what we should do, what the schools will do and how to connect with our children. When we moved here I did not even know we lived near nuclear! Was funny (isn't now), we were observing a beautiful sunset and I was remarking on how this cloud formation looked in the sun. Come to find out it was the smoke stack cloud from the distant nuclear plant! :surprised1: I think we are within 10 miles or just over that mark of it. I know the kids school is within 10 miles as the school has the special radio they give out for those within 10. Oh, come to think of it, we must be within 10 because we received information about the iodide pills. [/QUOTE]
