    As a homeowner what weighs me down most is insurance, by a large margin. It keeps increasing while the coverage decreases. It’s a huge racquet in my opinion

        Oklahoma 🙃rates go up each year due to tornados, at least that’s what they say. Even though i live in a heavily populated area that’ll never get hit.

        I had to put a new roof on cause of softball sized hail caused by the infamous may 2013 storm that damn near leveled Moore Oklahoma. But other than that, no storm damage ever

            In Arkansas we got a tornado in town. It was a huge wakeup call since people always think it won’t hit where they are.

            There are multiple businesses that I personally used that got wiped out by the tornado.

              Yeah I feel like Joplin proved that all wrong too.

              Was the idea that tall buildings might break up wind shear that would feed the tornado?

                I think so. When i lived in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains, common wisom was that we didn’t have to worry about tornados because of all the hills, which is basically the same idea. Then we had one touch down anyway. I think tornadoes just don’t care anymore, almost like they’re more energetic for some reason… like the climate has changed somehow…
