Yep, already purchased just trying to find a way to retire early and we are moving :)
If I mapped it correctly I think our place in Ohio is about 15 miles from Big D.

I live in the upper peninsula of Michigan, about a little over an hour north of Green Bay, WI. The worst severe weather I would get is heavy rain, the occasional hail and very strong winds enough to take off roof shingles and topple trees - usually straight line winds that is over in a few minutes. And even then, I don't get any severe weather often. I live next to Lake Michigan. As severe storms travel east and reach me, they dissipate as they reach the cooler lake air.

Snowstorms on the other hand, I get my share of those, but it is not like they wipe out a whole town like a tornado or hurricane would. I enjoy living here in the U.P. of Michigan.


I was in the UP many times, work related, Houghton-Hancock. I remember a large wooden billboard on the way to the airport with a giant thermometer painted on it, with various years snowfall marked on it. Cant remember the max but I think it was close to 200". One of the men I worked with told me that his grandfather had told him that they were often isolated for long periods in winter. They would dig a tunnel down main street with side tunnels to the doors of buildings.

My sympathies to those who suffered from that tornado. I've been in places a couple of days after they hit more than once and have seen the appalling damage even small ones a few yards wide can do. Weird, centre of houses turned into matchsticks, gable ends intact.

EDIT:

There was a 390" fall in the winter of 78/79.

Oh yeah Promethius is in Kansas as well.

The last time he posted here was Dec. 2012. Does anyone else have contact with him?


Everyone in OK went through the storms without major issues. I have a grandson that was in daycare in Newcastle about a mile south of where the touchdown happened. The only problem was it took my daughter a couple of hours to get to him, and a couple of hours to get back home.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Take care,

Prom

Micro, you might have to move. You got lucky on the first three, but the next one will not miss you :P
I lived in Midwest city in 1999, not sure where I was in 2003. Did not move here until 2006. Perhaps the terrain prevents tornadoes for passing through here :)
