Tornadoes at Orlando

[Allison]

I wouldn't worry about tornadoes in Orlando. I'm sure WDW has probably one of the best emergency plans - they don't want anything happening to you while you are there!

I've been through a major tornado disaster and they are really good at predicting them even up to weeks in advance now. If you ever happen to be in a tornado, the best thing to do is get into the bathtub if your bathroom doesn't have windows or an interior closet and put a mattress over top of you.

A tornado cannot be predicted weeks in advance. Of course, there is a time of year when tornadoes are more likely to happen and when conditions are ideal for an incident but to say there is going to be a tornado on a specific date at a specific location isn't possible.

When I was their in Feb (of all times) in 2010 there were Tornado warnings that day. I happened to get sick (fun times) at the end of our trip and so I was stuck in the room and sure enough they were talking about tornado warnings near the park. Nothing ever came of it though....thankfully

There are lots of tornadoes in the spring all across the country. The 'main' thing is to 'heed' warnings and do what you are told to do. There have been lots lately with loss of life and property. What makes them almost worse than hurricanes is that there is so little warning time. I have been in lots of hurricanes in the south, but you usually have time to get away if you need to evacuate.

Can't stress enough to listen to warnings and watch the weather.
