I have lived in Texas most all my life. As a child we went in basement a few times and only one touch down outside area.
Last year one touched down outside South Fort Worth taking a few homes. Fort Worth is 30 miles from Dallas going west. Come see us!.
We do get many hail storms.in spring. We have good siren and radar weather reportes to alert public to bad clouds.
NO hurricanes as it is long ways to coast.
Try web below to learn more about Dallas.
Also were still having some cool weather now but each day coming week is getting nicer. -

Texas is a huge state and Dallas is in the northern part of the state, much too far from the Gulf of Mexico to get the destruction from a hurricane. However, when there is a hurricane some of the people who live in that area will evacuate to the Dallas/Ft Worth area. In the aftermath we get rain for a couple days.
As for tornadoes, in the spring we do have frequent tornado watches, and occasionally a tornado warning. The difference is a watch means the conditions are right for a tornado to form and a warning means a tornado has been sighted and you need to take cover in a interior room of the house. A tornado does a tremendous amount of damage to the area hit, but the house right next door may have no damage at all. You just have to take cover when you hear the siren and hope for the best.
You won’t have a warning in your immediate area very often, thank goodness. Welcome to town, Ashley. -

We are about 300 miles from the Gulf so hurricanes only bring rain, not the destruction that is closer to the water.
Hurricanes can cause tornadoes, but after you are here for a while you will not worry about it.
Tornadoes are everywhere in the plains.
I never worry about one unless it is on the ground, near by, and heading my direction.
Tornadoes are localized they do not cover hundreds of miles like a hurricane.
Tornadoes do not happen every day and usually only in the spring. -

ike passed through, but it was very small,.. my 3 year old sat outside for it. – tornadoes on the other hand, every spring and it sucks. – i’m from california, i’ll take an earthquake any day over sitting here in a closet or bathroon praying my house doesn’t get blown away and i’m sitting in toilet water hangin’ on to the pipes.. – i’d rather not know disaster is coming. – but it’s just one of those things you learn to live with,… like that crazy a s s snow you’ve got up there!

There are tornadoes in the Dallas area quite often. But the Dallas area is quite large. For example the DFW airport is larger than Manhattan. So the chance of a tornado hitting your house here is really small. I have lived here over thirty 30 years and have noticed a pattern. In the area of Dallas and Tarrant Counties most of the tornadoes track south of I-20 and west of Fort Worth. Now Fort Worth was hit a few years ago and Dallas had a bad one 1957.
The bad news is home construction in this area rarely have basements. So there isn’t a good home shelter. Higher end homes, say seven figures will have a shelter provision but not the typical middle-class homes.
So it is just one of those risks one takes living here.

it doesnt really happen that often. with hurricanes we just get heavy rain and sometimes hail storms. tornadoes are a bit harder to predict but happen most often in the spring.
