On the tornadoes graph:
(a) would have made a fine IotD, ya know.
(b) it is interesting that the areas with the most tornadoes is not the same as the area with the most *fatal* tornadoes. I wonder why? Are the tonadoes in the kill zone more intense? are the people there less well prepared? Are there simply more people there to get killed? Are they more stupid, and are still trying to follow Dorothy to Oz? Or does God, in fact, hate rednecks?
