siren sounded last night

It used to be tornadoes always seemed to target mobile homes. Nowadays it's new construction. When they show the obliterated neighborhoods, the debris looks mighty flimsy. Mobile homes, which these have probably replaced, haven't been the inevitable target lately. Now probably no structure can stand up to a massive tornado, but I still like my chances in our 120 year old house—knock on (rough-hewn-beam) wood. Still—it's not much fun being in the path.
