>> I've been here over 11 yrs and never heard of Tornadoes in this area. Have they ever happened here?
@thegoodwife: YES! I worked with a guy who lived in the back end of Kingwood and a tornado hit a few years ago, touched down and took out ONLY HIS HOUSE. He was kind of an ***, probably karma.
@allymansfield:
That same one took two of our neighbors trees, twisted them off about 10 feet from the base & dropped them on our property. They hit our garage roof cracking a support beam, then rolled off crushing our shed. The tops landed four feet from our dining room window where my kids & I were. It was terrifying. The trees were at least 18" diameter. Folded the shed up like a taco.
Even so, sirens wouldn't have helped. Where would we have gone? No basement & we're surrounded by trees. 4951
