Tornadoes in WV
I found a really interesting database that lists storms and storm tracks of tornadoes in WV since about 1950, and got quite a surprise:
June 27th, 1978
This tornado apparently tracked right over where our house is!
Having seen that, I think that building that root cellar/storm shelter has just gone up in priority! Prior to this, I thought the closest tornado to hit was in Clarksburg, some 20 miles away.

I guess having lived in Tornado Alley the first ten years of my life, we always took it for granted that they'll plop down wherever they damned well wanted to. Took me ages to stop trying to find a basement when we moved to Florida (they don't build basements here ... flood-zone).
Are you going to make a place in the cellar for the cats to hang about in?
