People said the same thing 10 years ago, during the floods. People say the same thing about California when there's an earthquake. People say the same thing about Florida and the East coast when there's a hurricane.

There's dangers to living anywhere. There's natural disasters for every area of the country. Tornadoes don't bother me a great deal because they're fairly rare and, when they do strike, people usually have time to get somewhere safe. Out of the millions of people that live in the areas the tornados struck on Sunday, only 37 died. That's better than your average earthquake or hurricane.
