I know that it is very fashionable these days to joke about tornadoes. I hear kids at the mall throwing around the term "F5" like it means nothing at all. Well it does mean something - just ask anyone from Kansas (as am I). Kansans face the threat of deadly tornadoes every single day of their lives. For many residents, it isn't financially feasible to live in a solid-frame house. The constant devastation has driven many poor dirt-farmers to simply live in cheap tee-pees, pitched directly over the entrance to a deep underground tornado shelter. Most Kansans will spend roughly 35% of their lives in some sort of tornado shelter - or will die trying to get there. So, the next time you hear someone make some flippant comment about tornadoes, you set them straight. You tell them: Tornadoes are no joke.
