Yep, I'm a Texan -- actually right by you in Plano/Frisco. (City is Plano, but in the Frisco school district ... very confusing). My wife and I have been here nine years. We're both from Phoenix, AZ area originally. We love it, but even after nine years, we're still getting used to the whole tornado warning thing. Nothing like sitting in an interior bathroom with three little boys and a smelly dog! | ||

LOL... I lived in OKC for some time. Texas is mild compared to that tornado season. :-)

We actually had one pass right over our house when I lived in Shreveport. We live on a hill and the best we can guess is it 'jumped' over us and then a block away taking the 2nd story off of a house. Scary stuff.

If all the tornadoes agree to jump over my house, I'm cool with that. I should point out that my kids, at least the 5-year-old and 2-year-old, thought that it was incredibly fun to hang out in the bathroom for 20 minutes while the tornado threat was close. | ||

That's funny... our 4 year old thought it was like camping the last time.

At least for now, your daughter shouldn't have any problems with tornadoes. No tornado threat in the five-day forecast, either. Of course, the five-day forecast is pretty much a shot in the dark in most parts of Texas. | ||
