Tornado Quotes
There is a safe spot within every tornado. My job is to find it. David Copperfield

There is little you can do to stop a tornado, a hurricane, or a cancer diagnosis from changing your life in an instant. Ted Lieu
We understand tornadoes scientifically, but it still feels supernatural. The randomness makes it feel supernatural. Michael Koryta
Fearlessness requires attention and receptivity-it takes focus to stand in the still eye of a tornado and not be swept away by it. Susan Piver
If a tornado twists at 175 miles an hour and stays on the ground like a massive lawnmower for 50 miles, God gave the command. John Piper
Today, the technology is there to give early and normally ample warning when a powerful tornado approaches. When a tornado strikes, all of us are at risk. Spencer Bachus
“Storm shelters save lives. Perhaps, more important, they offer peace of mind, knowing a safe place is available when severe weather threatens.”
“Tornadoes are so unpredictable that you never know what’s going to happen. From the distance they are an amazing piece of nature. Up close they are deadly.” Jessica Madden
“In the great tornado of life, things sometimes seem out of control, and we can’t see where we are going. But sometimes, when the storm passes and the dust settles, things have landed into place beautifully.” Charisse Montgomery
0“When deadly tornadoes strike communities, there’s little you can do to prevent damage if you’re in the direct path of the storm but there is something you can do ahead of time to potentially save your loved ones. You can build a safe room in your house.” Senator James Inhofe
“It’s human nature to wait and see, but we want people to think about what could happen and prepare for it now, even if it’s something simple like buying hurricane-resistant glass or strengthening gables.” Keith Cranford
Despite our strongly felt kinship and oneness with nature, all the evidence suggests that nature doesn’t care one whit about us. Tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happen without the slightest consideration for human inhabitants. Alan Lightman
People live in a place called Tornado Alley – and they’re surprised when they get hit by a tornado. I’m sorry when they get hit by tornadoes, but when you live in Tornado Alley you can’t really claim surprise. Carlos Mencia
I’ve been fascinated with severe weather since I was four, when I saw a tornado at night in my mom and grandmother’s southeast Minnesota hometown while everyone else was asleep – an experience I encoded in ‘The Stormchasers.’ Jenna Blum
Out here in the Pacific, they have typhoons and hurricanes that blow over 200 miles an hour. We have tornadoes and hurricanes back home, but I don’t worry about them. The mortgage on my house is so heavy that nothing could budge it. Bob Hope
“There are no guarantees in life. This is especially true in dealing with natural disasters. From an educational facility designer’s point of view, it is our intent to design and engineer tornado safer areas that dramatically increase our children’s odds of surviving a severe wind event without major injuries.” Corey Schultz
In any democratic, civilized – even non-democratic nations, if you are a nation, it means to say that in our case, if there’s a hurricane in Louisiana, the people of Vermont are there for them. If there’s a tornado in the Midwest, we are there for them. If there’s flooding in the East Coast, the people in California are there for us. Bernie Sanders
I’ve never seen a tornado and I’ve lived in Oklahoma City basically my whole life. It’s not like we’re infested with them on a continual basis. But you learn to live with the warnings. And you learn what to do if one is coming your way. And then you cross your fingers and make the best judgments you can. Mick Cornett
“Whirlpools, tornadoes and dust devils all use the same physics. A downward force, followed by an obtuse angle, a sideways movement and then a spinning vortex which tries to remain perpendicular to the ground or ocean/river bed. It’s amazing what you can think about when a child is playing with a small plastic cone and trying to make it spin.” Anthony T. Hincks
Some dangers are so spectacular and so much beyond normal experience that the mind refuses to accept them as real, and watches the approach of doom without any sense of apprehension. The man who looks at the onrushing tidal wave, the descending avalanche, or the spinning funnel of the tornado, yet makes no attempt to flee, is not necessarily paralyzed with fright or resigned to an unavoidable fate. He may simply be unable to believe that the message of his eyes concerns him personally. It is all happening to somebody else. Arthur C. Clarke
“The results of a recent poll of persons living in coastal areas indicates that many of those most vulnerable to the devastation of hurricanes and related flooding underestimate their risk and, as a consequence, have not taken the steps to protect their homes and families from the storms. I urge anyone living near the coast state to recognize that disasters do not only happened in other peoples’ communities. Hurricanes and the widespread flooding they often bring can — and do — affect towns whose residents never thought it would happen to them. We must all learn to be prepared.
