Me and tornados

In Reply to: Asheville-tornados. We have had sm - MT in NC

For some reason I think that since moving to my new home in 2004 and sitting higher on a hill, I am more of a bull's eye than when I was not on a hill? I know, sounds strange but... I watch local news very seriously when they tornados around here and last year my turn off street mentioned on news, too close for comfort and the cats and I went for the hall bathroom. I would think Mt. Airy a little on the pricy side also. What I love most about my smaller town is the service. Going thru any gov service in Atlanta is the pits. Here just so laid back, no attitudes, great! Live right behind a major medical center so, of course, all doctors I could possibly need in the neighborhood. Instead of going halfway across town now (as when living in Atlanta) 5 minutes total to offices. That is priceless alone.

Asheville-tornados. We have had sm
three tornados already this year. Very rare for us though. I came from Michigan where there are ALWAYS tornados and tornado warnings and I just got use to it. Was born and raised there and lived there til I was 30.

Yes, Asheville is pretty and truthfully that is the ONLY thing I can say good about it! It has gotten very "new agey" and crazy here. Lots of very strange folks living in this town. I was just at the Biltmore about a month ago. I keep a season pass. I live about 4 miles from the Biltmore.

Now my piece of heaven would be to move to Mt. Airy NC which is "Mayberry" basically. I love it down there.

The one thing about tornados is bang-bang
and they are done in less than a half hour--no walls of water, flooding,etc. You get the insurance company there the next day and can start cleaning up and rebuilding. No waiting for FEMA or goverment help.
