Let's be respectful to those affected
I was born in California but have lived most of my life in the Midwest. Number of tornadoes I’ve been through in 30 years? Zero. I’ve seen two funnel clouds in my life time. But never an actual on-the-ground, damage causing tornado. Literally zero. Meanwhile, I know people in California who have lost their homes three times in the last 5 years due to wildfires.
There is no TRULY risk-free place to live. Droughts, fires, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes. You have a risk no matter where you are.
The interesting thing…statistically speaking, is that despite living in a VERY tornado-prone area…my odds of actually seeing a tornado are surprisingly low. I probably have a better chance of winning the lottery.
