Hurricanes or Tornado's

I haven't experienced hurricanes, so I'm coming from a tornado only perspective, but here's my opinion. I prefer my tornado lifestyle over a potential hurricane lifestyle, primarily for the length of time that the mentioned storms affect an area. Tornadoes tend to be fairly brief occurrences compared to hurricanes. I'd rather have it over and done with fairly quickly rather than sit through days of steadily increasing natural violence. Area of effect is another issue for me. Hurricanes and their extended storm systems affect a much larger area than tornadoes and their associated storm systems. I was thinking there was another factor in my decision, but I can't think of it right now. My $0.02 at the moment.

I don't have a storm shelter, but we want to build one. We survived Katrina and not only us, but everyone we know and love experienced this horrific storm. We still have our home though, so we are thankful. Many of our relatives lost their homes, even their entire town. Tornadoes are expected with hurricanes, but hurricanes at least we get some fair warnings about their approach so as to prepare the best you can. But the tornadoes that just pop up from bad weather storms, they scare me a lot, they are so unpredictable. I watch the weather a lot and try to stay informed. If I lived in tornado Valley I would definitely be building me a storm shelter as soon as possible.
