I don't know that tornadoes are all that commonplace in Turkey. For those that aren't aware of the awesome destruction these storms can bring, they can be quite fascinating to watch. And I'm speaking of someone who in a previous life was quite aware of their awesome power but still for a while got paid to chase them!
But yeah, before that stage of my life I was well conditioned to GTF down to the basement once the sirens went off. It's still good advice to seek an inside room away from any type of glass.
