[QUOTE="4sumrzn, post: 156502, member: 4133"] Well, coming from a nervous weather freak..... Do you have a basement? If you do, that is the way to "work it" to help them out. Making sure they understand that they have a "safe place", you will be paying close attention to the news if there are any warnings. I have always been a MESS over tornado warnings even though I have only seen one. I have never actually been through one. Been through MANY warnings. Seeing one up close is more than enough for me! I have always said I will NEVER live in a house without a basement. Guess what? I have for many years. I recall 3 moves into homes without basements & REFUSED to move until I had a tornado "plan". If you do not have a basement...as in my case now...let them help you figure out the safest place that will make them feel better knowing they can go to "if" you need to. I was so bad....I have a deal with a friend that lives around the corner. He has a manhole in his front yard.....I told him my :censored2: would be there during any warning & he has to lift the cover off for me = 1st plan. Neighbors across the street have a bi-level with a storage portion under ground = 2nd plan......which ever place I can get to, I will!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3rd plan.....husband says...it is what it is. He will stand outside & "wait". Whatever. I'm not too sure I helped at all, sorry. I just know I'm a nervous mess when it comes to bad weather & warnings. I am for sure the one that stays up ALL NIGHT watching the weather......but, I have my shoes on ready to run to that manhole! LOL! [/QUOTE]
