I live in a river valley that tornadoes generally jump over. I also live on a hill much higher than the river will ever flood even in a catastrophic event like this.
And yet, back in June…
No tornado, just high-speed wind. And a lot of our neighbors got it worse than us. Trees through people’s windows, branches on cars, some of the roads in our subdivision were completely blocked for a couple of days. Houses are still being repaired.
Had one of those in my area a few years ago. Just like 5 minutes (probably less) of a freak strong wind and the massive tree in my backyard fell, along with many others. I’ve never seen anything like it before. Well, I probably have, just at an intensity low enough that it was a non-event.

There is nowhere safe from climate change.

Yep. This couldn’t have been more than 5-10 minutes.
