You can move wherever you want. Tornados still aren't frequent enough to make that a priority in most people's minds. I have family in Oklahoma. There are tornadic storms every year, but none have affected any of them directly.

Best case, you might get a 13 minute warning, and that’s much improved from 40-50 years ago.

I notice a distinct lack of “gods punishing them because of homosexuality” when these disasters hit southern states.

You can get anywhere from five minutes warning to about half an hour.
A big problem is that these things are hard to pinpoint. You can be in the general path of the storm but have the dangerous winds happen six blocks over from where you live.

Thank god. I did not have high hopes for this poor kid. I hope his parents realize how much he was/is suffering.

No she was in jail. There's no psychological help down here. She was never put in a cell to have a pallet to sleep or sit on because they expected her to have a seizure due to Taki g her off medication abruptly.

Not all people with goatees murder their wives, die of covid or drive a truck flying a Trump flag.
However, all people that murder their wives, die of covid or drive a truck flying a Trump flag have a goatee.

Reply to comment by TJR843 in All unauthorized Airbnb listings in Quebec to be removed from app, company says by girlfreddyf
Airbnb is not the problem. Rent control, rent stabilization and zoning are the problem. If you want to do things to combat it, just do progressive increasing taxes on each Airbnb unit so income on the subsequent Airbnb is higher (ie 10%, 25%, 40% etc).

That's really not a fair comparison. And I say that as an atheist. That's like saying the shit Uganda is pulling right now is 'a bit like' the UK where there are also some homophobic dickheads.

That's a large number of people that would have to move.

It was in the 20s there on Monday and in the 80s on Wednesday. I wonder if that plays a part in it

Sure, you can move anywhere if you have the money. Mississippi is one of the poorest states, not just in finances, but education, etc. So picking up and moving elsewhere isn't so easy. Generational poverty is hard to climb out of.

Tax is not enough to pay for everything. Given how hard it is to get money from criminal, punishment for running away is better be paid upfront.

They warned us that would happen.
