Over half of the state is nothing but dense trees, lakes, and vegetation. People's misconception about OK is from movies seeking to portray our state is backwoods hick farmers. I am amazed at the number of people that still think OK is nothing but Indians and tumbleweeds.

As far as the pissing match on these Isabel threads about which is worse, a hurricane or a tornado; I would say that they both suck pretty bad and I want to avoid both at all times.

Is that what's going on? Because if so, it's ridiculous to compare them. Tornados pack more wind, but don't last long, and don't cause torrential rains and don't push storm surges. Apples and oranges.

When you see the path of a tornado, it's very destructive but narrow. The path of a hurricane typically isn't as intense but because it's far broader, it causes more damage overall.

Apples and oranges, apples and oranges. When Oklahoma starts having tornadoes that last 8 hours, we'll all bow down to Oklahoma, OK?

Now please put a sock in it, pretty please? You, and everybody else who wants to tell us all about tornadoes, please go away and let us talk about the hurricane.
