I live in Tennessee and I can still take the joke. People need to learn to lighten up. It's never too soon to make the joke.

yeah, almost none do. I actually installed a storm shelter in my garage last year so I felt pretty safe through this last round of storms.

I haven't seen the basement tornadoes but my home had significant damage from a garage whirlwind. It's fairly tragic and really pulls at your heartstrings when you see the aftermath. No real injuries except a few jammed pinky toes so we're real fortunate so far. Cleanup efforts have thus far been delayed due to scheduling and financial budget constraints. Quite possibly need to bring in outside support personnel.
