First of all, you should not leave an 8-year-old home alone with babies. However, if this situation arises, call your child on the phone if it is possible and tell him or her to take the babies and go to a safe spot, which you should have planned in advance. Do not try to get home ahead of the tornado, as you will only be endangering yourself.
Yes. Hundreds of tornadoes occur every year in the United States alone.

No I was left alone at 10 with a 12 year old there is no law that you can't leave a child alone at home.
Nope it can happen at anytime. In the United States alone there are 1200 tornadoes in an averaged year.
Never.

It is against Florida state law for an 11 year old to be left home alone with a sibling. A child must be 12 before they can stay home alone and 15 before the are permitted to babysit.
In Canada it is okay to have your twelve year old at home alone, no younger than that.
he just turned 30 this year
In Maryland, the minimum age of leaving a child home alone is 8 years. Depending on the maturity of the child, I'd say that a 12 year old can be left home alone for the daytime, but overnight, the child should be at least 15.
They can be home alone for an hour it depends if he/she is mature enough and if your neiborhood is safe
yes
