Re: fireworks NOW flooding

Are y'all in the upper portion of tornado alley or something?  Sounds like what happens when we get
1. moist air mass from the Gulf
2. hot dry air mass from the Mexican desert and
3. a cold front zooming down over the Rockies and all meeting over Oklahoma or Texas w/ alarming regularity.
I've never been to the Midwest so I'm not familiar w/ the topography or weather patterns.  Closest I've been is Jesse's!!
