General DVD question

[Katerchen]

I am thinking of purchasing exercise DVDs as a back-up for my VHS tapes if DVDs are NOT as climate sensitive as VHS tapes.

We'll be moving soon to an area that has a lot of tornados and I would like to keep the DVDs in a safe in the Storm Cellar - you know, that I can still work out after a tornado hits (- I know, I am a vidiot.)

Are DVDs less sensitive to cold, heat, humitity etc.?

By nature the DVDs themselves are less sensitive but the electronic equipment is not--still the same old electronics.

Living in Illinois, I gotta tell you that if a tornado hits, you won't be working out to your DVD's or anything else electrical unless you have a generating. Once a tornado hit a town 20 miles from my town, and we were out of power for 6 hours, because it hit a substation that fed us. The people in the town were out a whole lot longer.

With that said, don't freak about tornados. I have lived here all my life(41 years) and have yet to actually see an on ground tornado(some aloft), probably because I take cover when one is coming!!

Some people deal with hurricanes, some with earthquakes, here we have the occasional tornado. They are real bad if you are hit, but I think it's the lightening that has more of a chance of getting you percentage wise then tornados. Get surge protectors!!
