Looking at many states its surprising how many hits they’ve taken since 1950 even Florida where tornado reports seem rare but the FL map looks a lot like Alabama. .
One place around Asheville, NC is almost twister free but its way too close to my otherwise sweet and Godly MIL. ;
I’m the otherwise ... ;-)
Ashville, NC is in the mountains. Sometimes mountains protect towns in the valleys. My hometown, Anniston, AL is in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. It is located in a valley as well, between two different mountains (most would call them hills, but around here they are mountains, big, big hills stacked around us), and they have not had any twisters IN town either. But, all around there, there have been many. Here where I live, north of Anniston, we have had three, one which hit the college, Jacksonville State University, just three or four years or so ago. It did major damage on the way up a small valley right up to the college, destroyed several buildings, churches and homes, and ripped down thousands of trees. Sometimes, where the town is located, can affect its weather directly.
Asheville, NC is also super liberal. A couple of years ago they voted in support of reparations for blacks. There was a move to defund the police and 40% of their police force quit and they had a 31% increase in violent crime. Typical liberal town. They probably have pornography in the city school libraries too.
