But really, the risks are manageable. And the weather in SOUTH Texas is a bit different from the weather in NORTH Texas. Tornadoes in SOUTH Texas are actually not common. The same with ice storms. If shit outside starts to get hairy, then try to stay indoors - it will pass soon enough. Bad weather here does NOT tend to linger. It can happen, but it is very rare.
Oh, and when was the last time we even had a tropical storm make landfall here? Seriously, it's almost humiliating. (Besides, this is why it's best to live in San Antonio - we're far enough away that even if a hurricane makes landfall in Corpus Christi, chances are it'll mostly blow itself out by the time it gets this far.)
