I'll take Hurricanes any day over tornadoes and earthquakes. I experienced both up there. NO THANKS!! Hurricanes give you days / WEEKS to get ready. Tornadoes???? Back in December 1987....DECEMBER that is.... It was 43 degrees and partly cloudy. Within 30-45 minutes, a storm rolled in, we had 3-4 tornadoes within 2 miles of the base. One ON the base. Luckily, those were minor. But the Mid South region as a whole went through hell. West Memphis was torn to shreds. 30-45 minutes later, there was no a cloud in the sky and the temps were in the mid 30s. Most freakish weather change I have ever seen.
