Crossed my mind, too; Oklahoma has seen the occasional hurricane
remnants from the gulf, but their specialty is tornadoes.
Americans have an (arguably undeserved) reputation for being
only vaguely aware of anything that takes place out of their
home state, and completely unaware of anything that exists
outside of the USA. We Britons are not entirely dissimilar,
in that few of us have any idea what characterises most of
your states (Alaska apart),
That's interesting! Why, pray tell, a British knowlege of Alaska, in
particular?
Yes, it is interestingly unique but, still, so is Texas in its way. Not
to mention the other 48 with their idiosycrasies. Rhode Island for
size. Tennessee for bourbon. Kentucky for horse racing. California
for nut-job liberalism and out-of-control taxation, but to mention a
few. (Forget the film industry ... that's increasingly moving out of CA
to Canada other US states to save money.)
If nothing else we Yanks do have a diversified strangeness here. You
Brits do too but you do it with such a lovely accent! :-D Which, to
us, makes everything most of you say sound so damned intelligent even
when it's not. :-D
