Be careful what you ask for, Kansas isn't known for just tornados! this
quote from the USGS website briefly describes the New Madrid earthquake of
1811-1812 (and there have been several others of significance since).
"On the basis of the large area of damage (600,000 square kilometers), the
widespread area of perceptibility (5,000,000 square kilometers), and the
complex physiographic changes that occurred, the Mississippi River valley
earthquakes of 1811-1812 rank as some of the largest in the United States
since its settlement by Europeans. The area of strong shaking associated
with these shocks is two to three times larger than that of the 1964 Alaska
earthquake and 10 times larger than that of the 1906 San Francisco
earthquake."

Kansas looks good to a locust, and pernicious weed seeds.  It looks
better through the rear view mirror than through the windshield.

Kansas is looking better every day.  I'd rather deal with a tornado.
