    NB> DS> At one time, Arkansas led the nation in the number of "killer

    NB> DS> one person. Not a statistic you want to lead the nation in.   
    NB>No, not really...  but then, you are in that area of the country where   
    NB>tornadoes are more commonly found....   
      
    DS> We are actually in the eastern part of Tornado Alley, but ALSO in   
    DS> the western part of Dixie Alley. So, Arkansas gets a "double   
    DS> dose"...and unfortunately, most of our severe weather...including   
    DS> tornadoes...occurs after dark and overnight. And, that's obviously   
    DS> when most people are unaware (asleep), or think tornadoes only occur   
    DS> in the late afternoon during March, April, and May. We've had   
    DS> tornadoes every month of the year, at all hours of the day and night.    
      
   True, while more commonly expected in the day, severe weather can happen   
   around the clock... Many of our thunderstorms are overnight, too...   
      
    DS> The reason I prefer the cold weather, is that while it does make the   
    DS> arthritis hurt more...it means no heat illness, no insects, and no   
    DS> tornadoes.    
      
   More plusses than minuses... :)
