That’s a pretty safe distance from it.
Hurricanes or potential for world destructive volcanoes?
I chose liquor on the beach.

There was no beach where I was at the time of Katrina.
That could be said for a great deal of people.

True.
But there was a lot more waterfront property.
Meanwhile, my Day in History attention was grabbed a few days ago by the Kellogg-Briand Pact, which was signed in 1928 and outlawed war. A big success in its time in Europe. We ought to try that now, only with guns. You know, have gun-free zones. Schools, workplaces, stores. One stroke, problem solved.

You might want to look at this map. Granted it covers a lot of years, and isn't as many as the Great Plains, but still, pretty much every county has seen a tornado or two. If you click on the blue circles, it will tell you the town and the date. Most of the northeastern tornadoes have occurred in the 2000s. Although, that doesn't mean there has been one in your neighborhood, of course.
But it is a lot more than I would have guessed. https://www.ajc.com/news/local-govt...d-the-most-tornadoes/3oBJQDjd0MyKa4fvQxTLYP/#

Wow, I had no idea about the area east of Athens. But, there’s nothing out there worth a flip anyway.

It's certainly nice to know the, in the 1930's, Germany and the USSR did not invade Poland, Italy did not invade Ethiopia and Japan did not invade China.

If it's a serious storm, with extensive property damage and loss of life, The Donald will be blamed for it. You might think that's silly, and I would have thought so too, but I remember Hurricane Katrina. The leftists on this forum managed to blame W for that one, and I would expect them to do the same this time, and blame the GOP POTUS. It doesn't make any sense to me either.

Yeah, FEMA caught Hell back then.

But the Dem. gov. of La and the Dem mayor of New Orleans both got a pass.

FEMA rightfully caught hell for poor, unorganized response and things like this:
"News reports of health issues relating to Katrina-issue FEMA trailers began to appear in July 2006. A federal report in July 2008 identified toxic levels of formaldehyde in 42% of the trailers examined, attributing problems to poor construction and substandard building materials. As of 2012, two class-action lawsuits were settled, between residents of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Texas, and (1) manufacturers who built mobile homes for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and (2) FEMA contractors who installed and maintained them."
