Tornado Climatology and Risk Perception in Central Oklahoma
Residents of the Oklahoma City metropolitan area are frequently threatened by tornadoes. Previous research indicates that perceptions of tornado threat affect behavioral choices when severe weather threatens, and as such are important to study.

Residents across central Oklahoma were surveyed about their perceptions of tornado proneness for their home loca…

Conversations rekindled memories of knowledge imparted and stories told by previo…
