Having been through both I will take - neither.
In CA in the mid '80s a 'tiny' 3.5 hit east of LA, we were living up near Palmdale.
I was in the shower, with sliding glass doors no less. went to crawl out an got tossed to the floor.
Looked at the closet doors which were full mirrors and they were like waving(?) or bending, not quite sure how to describe it.
I know it was only a half minute or so, by yeowser it seemed like minutes.
Took down the doors the following weekend and installed a curtain.
As for 'nados, been lucky and was always able to shelter properly.
I can't even begin to imagine being in a fire. . .
Then last night there was the one that tore through middle TN. So many lost their lives.
