[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 157044, member: 1514"] Tia... Its not very normal to get much in the way of tornados in NC. We do get some bad thunderstorms and sometimes they will issue a warning or two but rarely do we get touchdowns. This year has been the exception. I have lived in the VA, NC. SC area my entire life I can count on my hands the number of tornados I have seen and they have all been extremely small ones. Do remember I am 46...lol. I think I have seen or heard of 4 or 5 since I have lived in NC. Now hurricanes? Those are a different animal all together. We do get those but with hurricanes you get enough warning that only an idiot doesnt know where they are. Where you are the main problem is flooding with some minor wind damage. I remember when Hugo hit. I lived in Greensboro at the time and that sucker came in between Garden City SC and Georgetown SC, headed to Charlotte NC straight up to Greensboro, then followed us to Richmond VA...lol. I had to go to my dads in Richmond for my stepsisters wedding that weekend. Dumb me tried to go to work that morning...it was a friday. I was heading down the interstate and billboards were whipping past me. I kept thinking to myself...it cannot be this bad this far inland! [/QUOTE]
