Lissa - I just thought of something last night (sm)

Are you in the path of the tornado, and if so, are you okay?

    • Benton is right between Mayfield and Dawson Springs so it must have been really rough there. This is about my 10th near-miss tornado scare, "98 Nashville forever the worst. lissa Wed, Dec 15 2021 at 01:40 PM CST (7)
      • Surprised I didn't hear more about real tornado shelters in the area then. Sounds like you have your own tornado alley nowadays. nm Wed, Dec 15 2021 at 06:12 PM CST (6)
        • That's 10 near misses in 50+ years. I have heard it called Dixie Alley. Storm shelters across the nation would be great but never a priority. lissa Thu, Dec 16 2021 at 10:50 AM CST (5)

              • Home storm shelters cost $5K and up, not something most small town citizens can afford. Community shelters could go a long way to save lives. Fri, Dec 17 2021 at 11:24 AM CST (2)
                • I guess it's a question of loss benefit analysis. Safe rooms/shelters are not uncommon in small towns in the original hurricane alley. nm Fri, Dec 17 2021 at 09:33 PM CST (1)
                  • I think there are some community ones as well, in malls/shopping areas? I'm not sure. Tornados give me the heebie jeebies. Living somewhere sm Fri, Dec 17 2021 at 09:36 PM CST (0)
