Wow that is crazy. I'm glad no one got hurt in Atlanta!
I've been through a bunch of tornados and even sat through a couple of hurricanes. Good times.
Last year was pretty crazy weather for north texans... I can't even count the number of tornadoes we got here. I live in an apartment, and the only room without windows is either my laundry room or my bathroom (which also has a very roomy walk-in closet.
I opted to stay in the bathroom, I just locked both doors (maybe if my windows got broken the lock would make it harder for the wind to open the door?) of the bathroom and camped out in my closet for most of them. Those were some scary times b/c the wind was crazy and we had hail as big as baseballs hitting the windows and stuff. My dog was hanging out with me and she was barking like crazy and really stressing me out!!!
But after 20-30 mins when I knew we were in the clear it was all good.
I grew up on the Texas coast so we'd get hurricanes about once a year. Those are scary b/c not only do you have the hurricane winds, but there is also a big possibility of the hurricane spinning off tornadoes. We were about 1.5 hrs from the coast, so usually the hurricanes were downgraded to 2's or 1's by the time they got to my hometown... but even then I was soooo scared!!! My dad would board up the windows and bring our dog in, and we'd just hang out and play board games w/ the family by candlelight since the electricity was usually out due to the storm.
All in all, I'd say hurricanes are probably better because you at least get a couple days' notice... tornados just pop out of nowhere sometimes.
