Heh, I much prefer the dry Arizona heat rather than the wet, humid Georgia heat, which is where I live.
It's usually around 90-95+ degrees without humidity. With humidity, the temperature goes up to 105+ degrees.. No fun at all. It gets so hot on some days that the school cancels all outside activites.
What makes it worse is that we're in a drought.

It's when seeing disscussion like this that I'm so glad that I live in Arizona! The only thing we get down here is floods and monsoons! And that we can deal with!

It's pretty awesome. We have beaches and rivers and stuff. I live in the hills so there are heaps of trees, but there are deserts.

tornados can be 2 miles wide and are much more common, with winds up to 300mph
hurricanes can be up to 2500miles wide (tip) but have winds up to 200mph

I dont know whitch is worse, hurracane ally or tornaido ally [they are pretty much the same thing, but ....diffrent]

Worst that happens around here is the occasional dust devil and rooling tumbleweed [those things suck]

loneknight, yes, they do tend to weaken as they move northward.

I live in Australia, so we don't get Hurricanes. But we had a really big Cyclone, Cyclone Tracy in the 80's I think.

Which then turns into a "tropical storm." Of course.
We had some harsh weather here in Georgia tonight. As me and my friend were driving back from practice, we almost got in numerous collisions due to the heavy downpour and crazy lighting. The whole sky lit up every 2 seconds.. literally.
It wasn't hard to tell that the lighting was touching ground within a mile radius. This was the first time that I ever felt nervous in a car.
And funny thing is is that we were only going about 5 mph.. On a highway.. In the night.

I meant to say that by the time Hurricanes reach us, they are mostly out of power.

Loneknight- no one on the east coast is totally safe, i live in va, and we get wind and rain from storms all the time. several major hurricanes have hit ma, ny, maine, and other new england states if you live on the us eat coast from texas to maine, you can be directly hit by a hurricane of any strenght. dont let your guard down, dont listen to people who say ''i cant be hit by a hurricane since i live up north'' your still in hurricane alley.

storms tend to turn northward towards the upper u.s. then curve away at the last minute, but still this could happen when high pressure prevents the storm from moving out into the mid atlantic, for example.
