 NB> DS> At one time, Arkansas led the nation in the number of "killer
 NB> DS> tornadoes"...that is, the number of tornadoes that killed at least
 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... :)
