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.

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.

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.
