And I can't imagine living somewhere with tornadoes and not having a basement or storm cellar. It boggles my mind.

Here's some interesting info about shelters/basements in the south and why everyone doesn't have one:

I agree with you, though - I'd much rather deal with snow and ice than a tornado. Having moved to Houston, I pretty much avoid all of those things. Hurricanes can be a problem, but again, at least we get a warning.
A tornado would simply be terrifying.
