No you don't.

Another midwesterner here. Our weather is interesting, to say the least. Missouri and Kansas catch tornadoes the worst, I think. Iowa and Illinois have a lot of fun with spring flooding. South Dakota/Southern Minnesota/Northern Iowa enjoy what have to be the most extreme weather fluctuations on the planet. Once in South Dakota it dropped over 60 degrees overnight.

I knew a Russian student in high school and he said the constant weather changing was the worst part about the place.

At least we don't have to worry about Hurricanes, Volcanoes, and Earthquakes. That is, unless the New Madrid fault acts up again. The last earthquake in the midwest reversed the flow of the Mississippi River.

Around here we get hurricanes about every seven years. The last one to come through was eight years ago and hurricane season starts next week.

No dangerous weather here, no sir.
Although on occasions, lightning can knock out the electricity...

...And that is pretty dangerous if you have poor night vision

Not really, but this June has been record-setting for rain here in New York.

I survived Hurricane Alicia in '83...it took the roof off my parent's house and delivered it about 70 yards away onto a neighbor's yard, missing their house by inches. It was a pretty nasty storm.

We had an inch of snow earlier this year. The whole South East ground to a halt.

our weather is pretty weird right now, although in a positive sense (to me). The whole june we have experienced an immense heatwave (by our standards ), the last three weeks the temperatures almost everyday exceeded 30°. Usually we get a few days > 30° in the whole summer. It will be the hottest june since they started measuring it in 1864...

the last 2 weeks the forcast almost constantly warned of heavy heat-thunderstorms but till now they all discharged somewhere else

A few days ago a lightning hit right outside my house at night, 11:50 p.m. I jumped to the roof almost. It sounded like someone slapped you across the face real hard.
