Sitting in my house in tornado valley, huge storm outside atm and this thought came to my head.
I have my house and basement but those aren't even a guarantee, so any idea how a society of people living mostly in tent-like structures would've dealt with a tornado?
Here is a similar question from several years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/1ekw2j/how_did_precolonization_midwest_native_americans/
But I'd have to guess generations of understanding the land and its weather would give a reasonable idea of where and what time of year tornadoes occur. These nomadic societies really could move quickly. If they were stuck in the path of the tornado, I suppose it's hope for the best .
