Nancy,

NB> DS> At one time, Arkansas led the nation in the number of "killer
NB> DS> tornadoes"...that is, the number of tornadoes that
killed at least one
NB> DS> person. Not a statistic you want to lead the nation in.

NB>No, not really...  but then, you are in that area of the country where
NB>tornadoes are more commonly found....

  We are actually in the eastern part of Tornado Alley, but ALSO in the
western part of Dixie Alley. So, Arkansas gets a "double
dose"...and unfortunately, most of our severe weather...including
tornadoes...occurs after dark and overnight. And, that's obviously when
most people are unaware (asleep), or think tornadoes only occur in the late
afternoon during March, April, and May. We've had tornadoes every month of
the year, at all hours of the day and night.

  The reason I prefer the cold weather, is that while it does make the
arthritis hurt more...it means no heat illness, no insects, and no
tornadoes.
