Tornado Alley
















Every season a new reason as to why I don’t
move to the Midwest, another swath of homes
demolished in the path of a tornado.

How many tornados can one person endure
when they’ve had enough
and move to a place
where life is a little safer?

I wouldn’t want California
because of earthquakes,
Florida is out with all those hurricanes,
northern states are not any better
with blizzards and extreme weather.

Where is a place where I
could be safe from natural disasters?

It appears Nevada
is one of the safest states
as long as I can stand flash floods
in winter, blazing heat in summer,
possible financial devastation
and a likely gambling addiction.
