In Reply to: Tornado Alley posted by Hoss in Me on May 13, 2008 at 09:26:08:
I was unaware that we lived near the eastern terminus of "tornado alley". It is not the springtime tornadoes that bother me, it is the pop up thunderstorms with their high winds that do. These tstorms are actually not bad, but our land sits kind of at the turning point of a valley between northeast and northwest. Almost every (okay, every) summer our sweet corn gets blasted at least once and knocked sideways.
Other than that, the weather is not a big deal. We used to live on the east coast and then for several years in northeastern Minnesota. We have been here in southern MO for almost a decade. The worst weather I ever experienced was outside Washington, DC one winter when the area got hit by a massive snow storm followed by high winds (ain't that always the way it is?) and then a couple of weeks of subnormal temperatures. Everything was shut down and there was little in the grocery stores. However, that was a very unusual storm and no one was prepared for it. In MN we had numerous "storms" worse than that one. Life went on as usual. Why? People were prepared for it.
I'd have to say that the biggest "disasters" and "storms" are almost all man-made. Weather is pretty benign.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
