This is true, and tornados aren't new to Florida either, however it wasn't the count it was more the magnitude. Also the location. Often when those tornadoes hit they are in farm lands where agriculture is devestated. Turn on the news and you'll see the absolute devistation to the area.

Also, most of Florida only prepares for this kind of carnage during a hurricane season so there are is not much in the way to prepare people for these kinds of spontaneous incidents. I don't know a single person who has a tornado bunker/cellar. Having struck in the middle of the night while no one was watching tv or listening to radio, with no "sirens" as warnings, these came without people ever having a clue what was going on.

There may not be as many tornados as in tornado ally, but the lifes taken and devestation is nothing to scoff at/compare to.

Everyone, please think of the big picture before you post. Just because my area wasn't severely hit, that is not a time to mock the situation. This was a disaster that claimed at least 19 human lives. Each one of those people have family, have friends, all that will miss them dearly. There may have been grander scale disasters in history in other places, but to each one of those family members of the victims claimed last night, this is life altering. My thoughts and prayers go out to these friends, families, the community, and to all of those still missing. I wish the best in this difficult time to our neighbor Floridians.
