Midwest people are god's chosen people

Right on op

salt of the earth.

god really should nuke chicago though

Don't listen to OP. He's obviously a snowflake. Winter in Minnesota in the 80's and 90's separated the men from the boys. OP was still swimming in his dad's testes back then.

I've lived in Minnesota for 10 years and I can withstand the harsh cold winters without any problem. There were days when I walked to the kwiktrip gas station to get the beer in -30F temperature.

Yah completely harmless tornadoes

A massive tornado moves past homes in Moore, Oklahoma, on Monday, May 20, 2013. A tornado as much as a mile (1.6 kilometers) wide with winds up to 200 mph (320 kph) roared through the Oklahoma City suburbs, flattening entire neighborhoods, setting buildings on fire and landing a direct blow on an elementary school

Oklahoma is more Southern than a Midwest state.

Here you go

The May 22, 2011 Joplin, Missouri EF5 tornado. On May 22, 2011 the city of Joplin, Missouri was impacted by an EF-5 tornado. There were 158 deaths with over a thousand injured as a result of the tornado. At its peak it was up to a mile wide with winds in excess of 200 miles per hour

So since 2007. Weak sauce. Big boy Wwnter's included having over a month of -20 high temps. Actual air temp, not wind chill. I did't mean to derail your Midwest is Best clan meeting. I'm sorry son, but you don't know what a real winter is.

Um that little thing called the New Madrid fault is something to consider.

You're not too smart, are you OP?? All it takes is a chain of earthquakes near the New Madrid fault line to completely devastate your ''untouchable midwest''.. think before you say things.

By the way OP, I went snowmobiling and ice-fishing for fun at -30. Beer freezes at those temps, which is why men in during a real winter drank hard alcohol It really isn't much as long as a person is prepared. Sounds like a lack of preparedness and lack of a real winter to me.
