Tornadoes are horrid weather phenominon, as the likelyhood can be predicted, but the location, path and size cannot.

And if you are there, you are just screwed.

Sad, but it is something people who live in "tornado alley" have to contend with, same as me with the occasional hurricane, or the more common nor'easter (which always destroys crap with storm surge, only with blizzard snow and wind, rather than rain and wind) same as people in Cali with quakes.

I have faith in the south, especially Okies

Oh, aye, this is true, and this one in particular. In comparison to the track of the 1999 F5, this one came down and intensified a LOT closer to Moore than the other so the warning time was very short.
