We've had some damage from them but never taken a direct hit. Came REAL close down in Florida. It was coming right at us, couldn't even get out the door so grabbed kid and threw him under the table with me. It took the house across the street and the carport next door, then skipped the fence and went on the take out a barn at the neighbor behind us. That's why this same kid now watches the sky like a hawk for incoming storms! I don't need to watch for weather alerts...he IS my alarm system as he has a weather radio and also watches the radar until it's clear. I do believe that Florida scare had an impact on him!
