I don’t know about you but I hate tornadoes. Seriously.
So it does not warm my heart to realize I live between the 2nd worst and the 9th worst cities in the country for tornado activity. Ugh…
Give me a hurricane any day of the week. You know you are going to get clobbered with a hurricane but you have time to prepare. But a tornado is like a doberman. You know there is a chance he will turn on you, but you are never sure when or how it will get you.
That being said, here are the

This list is interesting. I did not know of a high incidence of this phenomenon in these cities.
Living in Missouri for such a long time, I am shocked that no Missouri cities have made the list… Apparently it is far worse in other places.
I have lived in Texas all my life, and I’m surprised that Texas as well as Oklahoma and Kansas are not on the list.
I live in the Philippines and I am glad we are not on the lists…
