    Honestly, there's no place in the world you could move where some natural disaster or another wouldn't affect you. You just have to pick your poison, I guess. You have to remember that just like not everyone has to deal with earthquakes in California every day, the chances of getting hit by a tornado are actually pretty low. Even if you were to camp out permanently in the heart of tornado alley, statistically speaking you would most likely have to wait 1400 years before being struck by a twister. Thus the “point probability” of direct strike by a tornado is pretty small. But there are an awful lot of tornadoes and “points” in the U.S., so during the peak of the season, at least five a day are touching down somewhere in the U.S. Many tornado researchers have never seen a tornado. Nationwide, the chances of being killed by a tornado are 1 in 5,000,000. People continue to pick up the pieces and start over in the same spot because this is their home. I was born and raised in Oklahoma and while I've left, I'm never gone for long. My heart is here. I love this state. Besides, think of it this way. If everyone vacated Tornado Alley because of a few tornadoes every year, there would be very little wheat, corn, milo, alfalfa, canola, soy, peanuts, oats, cattle, pigs, natural gas, and oil. There would also be very little plaster, drywall, fertilizer and other things made from the gypsum that is mined in the midwest. @Warning2, all planting tons of trees across Tornado Alley will do is (a) take away from valuable farm land and (b) provide extra debris when tornadoes do happen. Trees have absolutely NOTHING to do with the formation of tornadoes, and the fact that you believe that tells me you need to go back to 9th grade Earth Science. Yes, tornadoes form in Tornado Alley because the area is flat. Cold dry air comes down from Canada while warm moist air comes up from the Gulf of Mexico. As we all know, those are the 2 factors that cause tornadoes--when those air masses combine they spark large violent storms. There aren't any mountains to slow down the storms, so they just keep building in intensity. Granted, it's more technical than that, but that's how I explain it to my second graders.

    It's probably not too much. And to the people below me, yes, there is such a thing as daytime headlight section. In New Mexico, for example, you need your headlights on because it is VERY hard to see head-on traffic in mirages.

    I have never heard of a daylight headlight section of road, unless it's raining, but I would not think that you would get any points because it is not a moving violation?
