like in california they have earthquakes, and there is a risk for hurricanes in the gulf and along the east coast. the midwest has the threat of tornadoes in the spring and summer months, and there can be fierce blizzards in the rockies
I have never been in a tornado, perhaps watches or warnings on occassion, living in the midwest. i have had tornado dreams at sporadic and random points in my life and never been able to pinpoint what they might mean…any ideas?
i’m a huge USA softball fan and at the end of july the world cup of softball is taking place in oklahoma city. i really want my parents to take me there for 3 or 4 days to go watch. i’ve never been to the midwest but i know oklahoma is in tornado alley. i’ve never experienced a tornado but i’m very scared of them. would the tornadoes in oklahoma be a reason of concern to not travel there?
I live in in the Midwest, and we recently had 7 tornadoes pass through this area. With the volcanoes and earthquakes, people were pointing to loose women, homosexuals, the US in iraq, or whatever else.
What sins are we in the Midwest guilty of?

I don’t want to sound naive but I have been a California girl my whole life. I was born and raised in San Diego and have never really traveled to the midwest. I am thinking about moving out there for job opportunities and cheaper housing but am nervous about a big change. Some of these may sound like dumb concerns so I apologize in advance.
How is the weather? does it get really hot or does it snow?
How often are there tornadoes?
Are there a variety of restaurants (sushi, thai, mexican, chinese)?
Is there any place close by to fish, camp, or shoot guns?
Is there a good school system?
I know it’s a lot of questions but I want to know what it is like in general and what are some big differences between SD and Tulsa besides the absence of the ocean. Thank you for any help.
No one deserve any kind of natural disaster. People dont say that people in California deserve it and it happens all the time. So whats the revenge for people/states where catastrophes happen often. Someone once said it was God’s wrath on southern states when they get hurricanes in the south because of slavery. Now doesn’t that sound dumb too but to the people who think its God’s revenge on haiti for voodoo should believe the same thing. What’s the revenge for Tornadoes in the midwest? What was the revenge for for the tsunami in Thailand. Just because it’s black people it has to be sometype of God’s wrath?

@armywife…no iwas referring to the links of prev ?s asked…
Doesn’t it seem strange that to anyone else that the wildfires are happening in California, and hurricanes happen frequently in Florida & Louisiana and other gulf states, and that there are tornadoes more frequently in the midwestern states?? Do you think God is showing his wrath?? I know for a fact that alot of "natural disasters" happen in these areas…and I truly believe that God’s Wrath is sparking these situations. What do you believe?
There is alot of nasty things going on in places like Florida (Filthy Rich, Notoriety, common place for sexual mayhem) California (Filthy Rich & Notoriety, also known for sexual mayhem), Louisiana (Mardi Gras, we all know what that’s about!!)….and Lord only knows about the Midwest…..I see a pattern here!!! / :
Tornadoes in the south, Blizzards and Ice Storms in the Midwest, Earthquakes in California…….
Ever since Hurricane Katrina most people throughout the United States acted like(and still acts like to this day)that New Orleans is the only place to flood when there’s other cities like Miami and Houston that floods.
And the real reason why New Orleans had flooded because of the Levees that weren’t properly built and was disrupted by Katrina’s storm surge.
And there’s other places in the U.S. that has Natural Disasters also: California has Earthquakes, the Midwest has Tornados, New York City can get hit by a Hurricane and that city is not prepared for a hurricane, and Seattle has Volcanos and Tsunamis.
So…I just moved out to the midwest and finally realized yesterday that, yes, they do get tornados and no, you do not get much warning when they are coming.
My horse has only been at his new barn a few days and it is 15 miles out in the middle of nowhere. So my worry is that he will get out/be let out in a tornado, be completely freaked out because he is a sunny california horse who has never experienced wind speeds over 15mph, and go decide to join the mustangs by running off miles into the fields.
Would it be worth it to get him a chip? My dogs are chipped, but how do horse ones work? Are they usually something checked when a horse is found? How much do they cost?
I live in Northern Westchester County, NY. About 50 miles north of
NYC. I always heard tornado warnings in other parts of the country like The Midwest and the South. I read that tornadoes have occurred in all 50 US states. I want to know why there hasn’t been any tornadoes or why they are so rare here. Someone told me its because theres too many hills. Why is it not happening here.
Okay……….I’m going to ask you a lot of questions so please pe patient because I really need to know this.
What are the major cities in Tornado Alley?
Is the Midwest or Northeast colder in the winter?
What is the coldest Southern, Wester, Northeastern, and Midwestern state?
What is the most "mid western" state?
Which states are the hottest to coldest? Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada or California?
What is the muggiest southern states, also including Hawaii?
Which region gets the most snow? Pacific West (not including Alaska, Southwest, Midwest, New England, Mid Atlantic, South, Mountain, or Great Plains?
Of that region, which one is the coldest, driest, wettest, snowiest, warmest, and most densely populated?
ds, california fires, recent midwest tornadoes/storms, all the lives ending in a usless war, Katrina, Gas prices just keep doubling each season, Ice sheets keep melting and causing the water to rise, and the list goes on and on and on…
Do you think the world will really end in 2012? I think it will if all this stuff continues.
I live in the midwest, Michigan to be exact – in a small suburb of Flint. We have been having odd weather lately – last night, a horrbile thunderstorm. The day before, scorching heat. The day before that – it was SUPER humid and windy! What the heck!
It’s not just us – it’s all of the midwest. 2 days ago in Milwaukee, WI there was a tornado warning. The next day, there was another one! In fact, there has been about 16 reported tornadoes in the midwest. Crazy! Anyone have any clue why this is happening? Anything is appreciated. :]
Are you sure it’s a coincidence that soooo many Tornadoes and flooding of the Mississippi River and Cedar Rapid, Iowa being underwater from flooding? The midwest is where Obama’s from.
… so is it possible Bush and McCain planted rain-making crops and caused the bad weather to get the people in the midwest mad at Obama and help the Republicans take the White House?
Also Bush could have planted the Tornadoes so Obama wouldn’t be able to campaign in the strong and help McCain catch up.
I live in the Midwest, and I have to live with tornadoes. I HATE tornadoes, especially when I dream about them.
When tornadoes invade my dreams, it usually means that something bad is about to happen in my life. This time, I dreamed that I was seeking shelter from a tornado, as there was a warning. But, when I go to a basement, it’s a top-notch basement, and the tornado never came. In fact, the sun was shining through the windows, the birds were singing, and nothing happened.
What does this mean? Does it mean that I’m worried about something, and I shouldn’t be?
BQ what kind of national disaster does your state have? i live in california and we have earthquakes, i think i would rather sit threw a tornado then an earthqauke so i might move to the midwest
The profiteers are starting to take advantage of the Disaster market. Because of all of the national disasters….Katrina, the California fires, the Southern drought, tornadoes in the Midwest, companies are being formed that will charge a hefty fee and guarantee your evacuation before disasters can sweep you away, burn your house, or endanger your life.
With names like Helpjet or Special Clients Group, these companies will fly you out of harm’s way or, in case of fire, spray your home with retardant foam, even though your neighbor’s house may be going up in flames.
One such company is located in Pellston, MI, and will charge ,000, plus ,000 yearly. The question is, is it right to have the rich paying for rescue from disaster, while poor are stranded? Should affordable rescue be a right for every citizen? With our tax money funding FEMA, should these companies be denied licenses and all money be spent to improve rescue for all?
A tornado or an earthquake? i live in the midwest so i’ve been through tornadoes, but i was thinking about moving to California and i have heard that earthquakes are worse…
Doesn’t that state burn down every year? They should come to expect this. Just like people in the South East part of the US should expect hurricanes and those in the Midwest should expect tornados. It would be nice if society built structures and communities in such a way that natural disasters were not so much of a problem.
The house would not have to be fire proof. There are other methods to go about protecting your home. For example, if the forestes were gridded so that the fire would be stuck in "blocks" and not be able to spread continuously.
You could build a fireproof house fairly simeple and relatively cheap. Even if the house costs twice as much, it would still be cheaper than building it multiple times after it burns down. Use stone, brick, concrete, etc. and have "shutters" that are made of metal to keep windows from being subject to the heat. You could also build the home underground and not even worry about the fire. I am sure you would still want to leave any area there is a fire, since it will eat all the oxygen though.
Hurrican proof homes already exist. Take a look at Deltec homes. They are quite interesting.
I’m moving next summer from Albuquerque, NM to somewhere in Oklahoma City, and I was wondering if all houses have basements, since I’m moving from a relatively tornado free area to Tornado Alley. Also, do apartments in the Midwest have basements?
wildfires in california floods in the south hurricanes on the coast. tornadoes in the midwest etc just wondering if new york ever experiences any types of natural disasters
A California Earthquake or Wildfire, a midwest Tornado, A Florida Hurricane or Flood, a Volcano eruption, a Snow Storm or Blizzard?
well i experienced a couple earthquakes the biggest being the 1989 san francisco, but after that they’ve been pretty small but always scary!
