tornado

We all have to live somewhere. Think of it this way. It doesn't matter where you live as there is always going to be something there. Think of the places with Volcanos, or flash floods, mud slides etc. Anyway you look at it you are getting yourself into some weather hazard.

Maybe you should include where there are blizzards and it is cold almost six months of the year. Well I suppose if it is in the United States, since there are hardly any tornadoes in Canada unless you are counting the Southern Prairies, because when they settled America, where your family went and where the jobs where. Now I know in the Prairies, that many people came from the Ukraine and settled there because it was a similar climate, but I could not understand why anyone whose ancestors came from England, France, Wales, Scotland, or Ireland why they would settle in a land so unlike their homeland, until you remember the gulf stream flowed along the North Sea and that made those lands warmer than they would have been. So apart from having more land, I would assume they settled in the Great Plains because they thought it similar to their own climate and also because that was the places where they would have enough space to build. As for the hurricanes, I suppose they were attracted by the warm climates.

Because we have to live somewhere...natural disaters can hit anywhere in the world. It's just a matter of which ones. Ok, I'll admit it, right where I live we are realitively safe from the big ones...the last hurricane to cause problems was in 1972, we get high winds but no actual tornadoes, there have been two earthquakes in my lifetime and I slept through them both they were so mild, I'm on a hill so we don't get flooded and it's prime stone quarry land so there not much mud to slide, even our winter storms are rarely very bad. But if I were in an area more prone to such things yet still in my current life situation, I'd have to stay just because I wouldn't have much choice. I don't like living here but can't afford to move away so it would be the same no matter where I was.

Many people live in the region that that they were born and grew up in. Other people migrate to a different country to their original home country like an English man might move from London to Cairns. A Canadian lady might go on holiday to Fiji and fall in love with a local man so she moves to Fiji and gets married. One of my friends comes from San Francisco and he had a terrible earthquake there and after that awful event he went on vacation to Fiji. However a hurricane hit Fiji and caused really high winds and much destruction. I went to the Cook Islands a week after a hurricane. There was evidence of damaged steps by the beach. However I have to say such a location is paradise. I am sure many people would like to live there. I booked a flight to Cancun in Mexico but the airline canceled it due to a hurricane that caused very much damage. Australia is one of the nicest countries to live in however it can suffer bush fires, hurricanes, has dangerous spiders, crocodiles and large sharks. Some of the year stinging jellyfish are in the sea off the Queensland coast. Life can have its challenges.

Born and raised in Tornado country. Personally I haven't ever seen one touch down in my town but the neighboring towns have had them and extensive damage was done. We are all born somewhere and unless someone is going to send me a big honking check to move out of Tornado country it is where I will remain. I have been alive for 30 years now and have yet to see one up close.

I am assuming you are takling about people who willingly move to areas where tornados and hurricanes frequent. Maybe they like the risk? the pros may outway the cons, i really cant answer as I live in england and we dont have anything like that here so we are very fortunate in that sense. Some people are obviously born and bought up in these countries and have no other choice but to stay there.
