I'd encourage you to share those methods. Either here or in a new thread. Sounds cool!

I'm wrapping up the documentation for my methods, hoping to start doing online training soon.

Places the land form makes a microclimate that doesn't get hit as bad as most areas.

Tornadoes have interesting skip patterns. I have studied them. There's no stopping one that wants to come at you, but you can look for where they don't tend to want to go. Where I am it's the lee side of hills that are angled to face southwest. You'll still take damage, but not a full on frontal hit.

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

thanks we get them with bushfires where the flames will leap over hills, miss a house and burn one 500 M away by landing on it.

If you settle for what they are giving you, you deserve what you get. Fight for this tiny ad!
