When I talk about big snow cities, folks genrally think of places like Buffalo, New York or Marquette, Michigan. When someone mentions clouds, we think of Seattle and San Francisco for fog.
Hot weather brings Phoenix, Arizona to mind and sunshine imvites thoughts of Florida.
If I were to mention tornados, I'll bet you would think of Texas, Oklahoma, or Kansas. The truth is tornados must be seriously dealt with across most of the eastern United States. Most states east of the Rocky Mountains have experienced large, deadly tornados. For instance, the average track length of a tonado is 6 miles, and only two percent have paths in excess of 30 miles. The longest tornado path on record was verified in Illinois on May 26, 1917.
