1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

That's the other side of the confusion. You build houses out of sticks and paper, and live in somewhere called Tornado Alley...
I don't build houses, nor do I live in Tornado Alley lol
I think that was an empirical "you", not you specifically..
Yeah, I live in an area prone to tornadoes. Not as tornado prone as the midwest, but we've seen tornadoes in this area.
A particularly notable one touched down in a town not far from here, in the business district. It tore down multiple steel framed cinder block buildings including a Lowe's Home Improvement Center and a Tractor Supply Company.
A big bad wolf might not be able to blow a brick house down, but an EF3 tornado certainly can.
