I would think anyone who lives in Hurricane prone areas would be able to recognize the signs in the clouds by now. They are very easy to spot. Hell, I'm over 500 miles from the coast but if one drifts this way I can see the cloud bands and recognize them for what they are. Tornados? You are just shit out of luck. Just hunker down when the hail starts or the winds get wild. It's all you can do anyway even with a few minutes of alert. [/quote]
