Sigh.....live in Jonesboro Ark —about 33 miles from Marked Tree.....we left the land of hurricanes to return to the land of New Madrid and Tornadoes, to be closer to our kids. All I can say, is “pick your poison” when you live in the good ol’ USA.....
True!
Pennsylvania is due for another hundred year flood.
I live in between two raging creeks.
All I can say, is “pick your poison” when you live in the good ol’ USA.....
Is there anywhere in America which is not prone to some sort of natural disaster or severe weather?
There are sometimes discussions in my extended family, as we have family in many parts of the country. And the discussions will talk about, how can we live in California, when we have earthquakes and brush fires? And our response to midwestern relatives is, how can you live in tornado alley? How can you stand the severe winters?
And the response to the Florida branch of the family is, well, Florida has hurricanes, even if not prone to earthquakes. So what are all of you trying to say?
If Jonesboro then hopefully not in the liquifying Delta soil, but on some hills with a rock foundation!
I informed that her its mainly because natural disasters kill people all the time in the US: hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, the occasional volcano, etc.
I told here that where I went to high school the radio warned us to keep blankets in the car during winter and every spring when the snow melted they were always pulling out a few unfortunate souls from cars in ravines next to the roads.
What's ordinary weather in the US kills people here all the time.
We moved from FL to the MO Ozarks and are 80 miles S/SW of St Louis, about 170 miles from New Madrid. An 8.0 would probably tear our little house to shreds.
