However, I'm talking about a major, life-threatening event. That has <i>never</i> happened at my house in all the years of my existence. Nevertheless, I don't assume it won't <i>ever</i> happen!Chuck Doswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03099345055614900157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759913671101666257.post-69423704295975360472010-09-01T19:04:50.590-05:002010-09-01T19:04:50.590-05:00Chuck, I am curious, how often would you guess a s...Chuck, I am curious, how often would you guess a severe thunderstorm, by definition, is realized at your residence? Where I live, I would guesstimate that it is about once or twice per year. <br /><br />All else constant, an extrapolation of this observation over an average lifetime would yield a total of 70 to 140 severe thunderstorm events. Surely that's enough for concern! However if you consider how many times your residence is included in a severe thunderstorm or tornado warning, the yield becomes much much larger. So, as the saying goes, the devil is in the details!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
