You're giving the wrong impression to a visitor from across the pond. It's
not all-tornadoes, all-the-time. "W P Dixon" wrote in message ... Just goes to show there are fools all over the world!

Not to mention that it makes the insurance companies real nervous when a
wall cloud passes over AirVenture, as it did 15 years ago. Jay Honeck wrote: Hey, it keeps the riff-raff out...

Well, 14 tornadoes is a bit much, but you aren't completely safe there either. In Georgia and Tennessee, we call mobile homes "tornado bait." And if you're on the coast, you get the occasional hurricane too. George Patterson There's plenty of room for all of God's creatures. Right next to the mashed potatoes.

HEE HEE,
Yep George we call them tornado magnets. And yep the tornadoes are bad enough in TN and GA , but let me tell you the ones in Kansas are just unreal. Miles wide some of them...really spooky. Hope I never see another one. Patrick student SPL aircraft structural mech "George Patterson" wrote in message news:UpOfe.5062$Dn.1199@trndny02...

George Patterson wrote: In Georgia and Tennessee, we call mobile homes "tornado bait." Interesting. Some of my friends call me tornado bait. All I have to do is fly across the midwest in May or early June, and one will find me. I haven't tried it in a few years, but my record was unblemished for '99, '00, '01 and '02. I saw at least one on every trip. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180)
