Tornadoes seem to be a midwestern phenomena but I've heard they had them in all states tho rare.

Upstate New York sounds beautiful! My uneducated view of it is that it has tons of trees. Is it like that? I knew a lady from there, we never discussed what it looked like but she said it's totally different than say...New York City type thing.

It varies of course but in general the landscape is rolling with mostly small(10 acres or less)fields amid the woods.
White pine,various Maples and Oaks,Cherry,Beech and White Birch are probably the most common trees.Most of the Elms have died,Dutch Elm disease I think.
