3. The tornado season is just as important

Hurricanes are slow-moving. Tornadoes form suddenly, and you only have minutes of warning, not days (like a hurricane).

I wish people would stop talking about *just* hurricanes, and talk about tornadoes, too. I survived a major tornado outbreak, from a supercell that left destruction in multiple states.

*Both* kinds of severe weather are deadly.
