I've wondered all my life, and I'm finally gonna ask - why the heck isn't Kansas City in Kansas?

Why do tornadoes always take the highways?

And this is news? When I lived in south central Nebraska, we got tornadoes once a week or something. You get hundreds of the things out in those parts. Most don't do much damage, and you usually have a fair bit of warning if you keep half an eye out during severe weather. Its funny how you get used to hazards when you have to live with them day after day.
