I've also been to much of the midwest, and there aren't a whole lot of
places on earth I'm less interested in living. To tell someone from
any coastal area in the US that they should move to the midwest
because of hurricanes is laughable. It's like telling someone who
catches the flu every few years that they should just kill themselves
to avoid those flu symptoms.
