We have similar weather patterns, but not as extreme as you seem to.

Ie- You get snow, it just gets bitterly cold and dry, etc.


As for tornado alley, I couldn't stand it.... Just, one of those experiences that hinder you from ever liking them again, absolutely terrifying.

^When I was in 6th (?) grade, me and a babysitter (don't ask why i still has one) were at my house playing rollercoaster tycoon in the basement, and all of a sudden her mom calls and says we should come over to there house. (She lived right next door, about 50 feet through the woods) Well, my dog, was outside, and the rain started pouring, hardcore. Nobody usually believes this, but I ran up there, wind howling ferociously, and I see her through the window on the steps to the back porch. She was almost, not quite, but ALMOST being DRAGGED off of the stairs by the winds, she's such a little dog. I ran out there IN the tornado and grab her, I can't even see. We get inside and no less than 3 seconds after I close the back door, a tree crushes the porch i was just standing on. Totally destroys it. I pick up the dog, and we had to run to her house before it got TOO bad. We run out the garage door, and across my driveway. I happened to look to the left (up the driveway towards the road) and I see it. It was massive! It was beautiful yeah, but, wow, I was flipping out. The worst thing that happened all night was right there, a car flew out of the storm, out of nowhere, and blasted down the driveway about 3 feet in front of us! We made it into the house but I swear we had no more than 2 seconds to live out there.... Sheesh if I didn't believe in God before I did that night. I know it's a toughie to believe because it's so out there, but it really happened like that.
