That is part of the reason I left Ft. Worth, to get away from tornados. As 
for himmicanes, in 1986 I lost two shingles due to one and had to climb up 
on roof to fix. Part of the reason I live in Orlando is to be far from the 
coast, 80 miles at nearest approach so much of any storm force is 
dissipated before it gets here.

People (particularly those from cramped states and Europeans) tend to 
forget just how big Florida is - if you start in Key west and drive to the 
state line by Pensacola it is 844 miles (1350 km). That is 50 miles further 
than from San Diego to the Calif state line north of Eureka. Heck, if you 
take I-4 west from Daytona to Tampa it is about the same distance as 
Baltimore to NYC and that is just across the narrow part of the state.

So like accidents in Cadillacs, generally you are sitting here while 
"interesting things" are going on waaay over there.
