And people wonder why I don't particularly like the Great Plains. Hours of driving to get anywhere, and tornadoes.

I posted a story about a localized one in response to another comment. :) And I had a friend tell me that a tornado went through her parents' land one early morning. Only damaged one tiny corner of the house, but it removed the entire barn from around the horses that were in it, and her parents found the horses still standing where their stalls had been, going "I didn't do it! Not my fault!" I think they lost a goat and a few chickens, but I don't quite remember.
