Fair point...but the destruction seen on the news that has been caused by tornados is enough to keep me out of the midwest. A home destroyed is a home destroyed, be it by hurrican or tornado....at least we have time to board up the house, windows, etc and have a chance to keep the damage to a minimum.
*on a more personal note....I refuse to live somewhere that far away from the ocean....just personal preference is all.
