I think a lot of it has to do with *familiarity* with a risk.

Things with which you have no first-hand experience can conjure up
all sorts of nightmarish scenarios, in your imagination. OTOH,
practical exposure allows you to more accurately gauge those
risks in a REAL context.

Folks who've never encountered a cougar, rattlesnake, tarantula,
gila monster, poisonous spider, etc. might cringe at the thought.
In practice, you realize they aren't going to CHARGE you but,
rather, will shy away -- unless you provoke them! So, instead
of thinking that they are "lying in wait" for an unsuspecting "you"
to come along, you realize they're going to ignore you -- unless
you force them NOT to!

Coming to this realization WITHOUT direct experience is difficult.

Seeing the devastation of a "natural disaster" leaves your imagination
unconstrained to IMAGINE what it must have been like. In practice,
I suspect the appraisal is very different.

But most of the consequences of those events are related to how
well the support systems addressed the AFTER EFFECTS or failures
of man-made structures brought about by the event. E.g., had NOLA
been ABOVE sea level, most of the fatalities there would not have
occurred. The storm, itself, didn't kill those people; the failure
of levees meant to keep the sea water out of the low-lying wards
did!

How often do you see *bodies* littering the area of a storm/disaster?

Last year, ~30 people died as a direct result of tornados. Despite
all the *power* that they unleashed! 1000 times more people died in
the same period due to automobile accidents -- almost the same
number as lost their lives to guns! Bundle up the energy expended
in all of those car crashes (or gunshots) and compare it to the
energy in *one* tornado...

What you *see* in the media is the devastation that these events
leave behind. And, *imagine* that the "human cost" must have been
tremendous! It is -- but in the *aftermath*, not the event itself!

I've been scared with close calls several times. I get in the bedroom
closet and bring the dog in there with me along with some flashlights,
my phone, and anything else I might think I need at the time.

Last spring I came home and there was a combination of super cells that
were converging on the city coming from 3 different directions. Down
town got hit with gustnado's, and one small tornado, and I was tracking
it all via 2 tv stations weather reports. Things seemed to be calming
down and I got up and looked out my back window and saw the clouds
moving away from me North pretty fast. OK ... all is well, I thought. A
few minutes later I went back and looked again and the clouds had
reversed direction and were coming straight at me going south and
spinning counter clockwise over the house. At first I thought "how
beautiful", and then I thought "OH CRAP! This CAN'T be good!!" and
headed straight for the closet with the dog. We were hit with heavy
hail about 10 seconds after I got in the closet, but no tornado. Later
I found out that what I was seeing was those 3 different super cells
converging on each other and the clouds were spinning like crazy because
of it.

We've had about 6 close calls during tornado season. All we can do is
pay attention to where the storms are and what direction they're moving,
but when they're coming straight for us you decide just how much you
believe in prayer. The best hiding place in a house is a room with no
outside walls or windows. We have one tiny coat closet that fits that
description and the door doesn't latch tight on it. Probably one small
person could squat down in it. The other choice is the bedroom closet,
but it's on a west facing wall. The house is built in an L shape and
the closet would be located on the inside corner of the L. Me, the
hubby, and the dog would fit in that one, but if a strong F5 or F4
tornado hit our house we'd be lucky if there was anything left, but
strange things happen and sometimes a twister will take part of a house
and not touch something else.

Well, I believe Oklahoma is now ahead of California in the number of
earth quakes. Yesterday they had about a dozen up in North Central
Oklahoma. That's talking greater than 3.5. We have only had a
couple greater than 5. Ask the oil companies and they will tell you
that using injection wells to dispose of the water used in fracking
has nothing to do with it.

I personally have only felt 2 of them here in Tulsa but the TV stations
get calls all the time when they happen. There was some damage over
around Edmond in Central Oklahoma last week. At least one home lost
a chimney.

Bill

Are you in the 405 area Bill? I watch "STREET OUTLAWS" all the time. :')
918 area. Tulsa is in NE Oklahoma about 100 miles NNE of Oklahoma City.
We haven't been getting the actual quakes, just getting shaken up some.
The 5.4 about 2 or 3 years ago did cause some damage in this area.

And the count for today is now up around 30 quakes in North Central
Oklahoma.

tornado hit our house we'd be lucky if there was anything left, but
strange things happen and sometimes a twister will take part of a house

Wouldn't a room with 2 foot thick reinforced concrete walls and cieling
built in the center of the house be the best place to ride out a
tornado?

Earthquakes don't scare Me, but tornadoes do. :-? Maybe because we live

I've been scared with close calls several times. I get in the bedroom
closet and bring the dog in there with me along with some flashlights,
my phone, and anything else I might think I need at the time.

Last spring I came home and there was a combination of super cells that
were converging on the city coming from 3 different directions. Down
town got hit with gustnado's, and one small tornado, and I was tracking
it all via 2 tv stations weather reports. Things seemed to be calming
down and I got up and looked out my back window and saw the clouds
moving away from me North pretty fast. OK ... all is well, I thought. A
few minutes later I went back and looked again and the clouds had
reversed direction and were coming straight at me going south and
spinning counter clockwise over the house. At first I thought "how
beautiful", and then I thought "OH CRAP! This CAN'T be good!!" and
headed straight for the closet with the dog. We were hit with heavy
hail about 10 seconds after I got in the closet, but no tornado. Later
I found out that what I was seeing was those 3 different super cells
converging on each other and the clouds were spinning like crazy because
of it.

Can you get tornado insurance where you live Maggie? If so, is it

Well, I believe Oklahoma is now ahead of California in the number of
earth quakes. Yesterday they had about a dozen up in North Central
Oklahoma. That's talking greater than 3.5. We have only had a
couple greater than 5. Ask the oil companies and they will tell you
that using injection wells to dispose of the water used in fracking
has nothing to do with it.

I personally have only felt 2 of them here in Tulsa but the TV stations
get calls all the time when they happen. There was some damage over
around Edmond in Central Oklahoma last week. At least one home lost
a chimney.

Bill

Are you in the 405 area Bill? I watch "STREET OUTLAWS" all the time. :')
918 area. Tulsa is in NE Oklahoma about 100 miles NNE of Oklahoma City.
We haven't been getting the actual quakes, just getting shaken up some.
The 5.4 about 2 or 3 years ago did cause some damage in this area.

And the count for today is now up around 30 quakes in North Central
Oklahoma.

Bill

Wow. We never hear about quakes in Oklahoma out here.

I think a lot of it has to do with *familiarity* with a risk.

Things with which you have no first-hand experience can conjure up
all sorts of nightmarish scenarios, in your imagination. OTOH,
practical exposure allows you to more accurately gauge those
risks in a REAL context.

Folks who've never encountered a cougar, rattlesnake, tarantula,
gila monster, poisonous spider, etc. might cringe at the thought.
In practice, you realize they aren't going to CHARGE you but,
rather, will shy away -- unless you provoke them! So, instead
of thinking that they are "lying in wait" for an unsuspecting "you"
to come along, you realize they're going to ignore you -- unless
you force them NOT to!

Coming to this realization WITHOUT direct experience is difficult.

Seeing the devastation of a "natural disaster" leaves your imagination
unconstrained to IMAGINE what it must have been like. In practice,
I suspect the appraisal is very different.

We've had about 6 close calls during tornado season. All we can do is
pay attention to where the storms are and what direction they're moving,
but when they're coming straight for us you decide just how much you
believe in prayer. The best hiding place in a house is a room with no
outside walls or windows. We have one tiny coat closet that fits that
description and the door doesn't latch tight on it. Probably one small
person could squat down in it. The other choice is the bedroom closet,
but it's on a west facing wall. The house is built in an L shape and
the closet would be located on the inside corner of the L. Me, the
hubby, and the dog would fit in that one, but if a strong F5 or F4
tornado hit our house we'd be lucky if there was anything left, but
strange things happen and sometimes a twister will take part of a house
and not touch something else.

I would figure in that expense with the mortgage, but that's just Me.
As far as shakers go, having a concrete box in the middle of the house
for shelter would be a trap IMO. Getting outside and away from the
street lighting and transformer boxes would be My move.

impolite to me over a period of years. It is
very possible they took any thing they could, and
twisted it to appear what it wasn't.

And maybe I'm neither a troll nor an idiot, except
in this one person's mind.

Over in alt.hvac he claimed to be a tech. He gave out information that could

necessary.

Research his postings over the years there and here. These are the ones I
remember now. I won't have anything to do with such a person. I have KF him.
As I see some of his posts carried through he is still pulling his act;
expert when posting-innocent when caught. He refuses to learn.

I cannot discern whether he is troll or idiot. I try to warn people away,
that is the best I can do.

Well, I've never witnessed any of those transgressions or bad behavior. SM has never been nasty to me even though we pick on and tease each other. My policy is to hate everyone equally until they give me a reason not to. I judge people on how they treat me or on the way I see them treat others. ヽ(€¢€¿€¢)ノ
