Yet another reason not to live there

Rico says he feels sorry for people who live in the Midwest generally, but this time of year, it's worse, as the BBC explains:

Powerful tornadoes have swept through the Midwest, destroying buildings and overturning vehicles in the states of Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky.
At least six people were killed, all in Illinois, and it is feared that several hundred people may have been injured in the fast-moving storms. A number of people are feared trapped inside buildings.
Forecasters said people in ten states had been at risk. Hailstones the size of tennis balls were reported. The storm was so fast-moving, with winds of up to 111 kilometers per hour, that forecasters warned people not to wait until they saw the weather change.
November is ordinarily one of the quietest months in the tornado calendar, meaning these storms are unusually destructive for this time of year, the BBC's Nick Bryant reports.
About eighty reports of tornadoes had come in by late Sunday, said the National Weather Service, though a spokesman cautioned that multiple reporting meant the actual number might be about thirty or forty.
All the fatalities were reported in Illinois, which was the hardest-hit state. Three people died in southern Massac County, and one person died in the town of Washington, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency was quoted as saying. No further details were provided. An 80-year-old man and his 78-year-old sister were killed when a tornado struck their farmhouse in the rural southern Illinois village of New Minden.
