Lots of thunderstorms occur in the South, but they are not often severe(this especially applies for areas close to the coast).

Alot of people are under the delusion that the South gets colder winter extremes than any other subtropical climate, but that premise is quite false; if that were true, then the South's native vegetation would be extremely hardy compared to other subtropical locations, but that is clearly not the case.

So let me guess, you noticed your thread was dying, so you posted again the same trolling stuff you did before to get a rise out of people. I know you don't even believe yourself the stuff you write on here, lol.

"Paradise" is subjective, and while I wouldn't refer to the entire South as a subtropical paradise, some parts do fit the description.

Though we all agree about the posts from this guy, you cherry pick. I could just as easily post a link to a blizzard in the Northeast. Then again that would have you jumping for joy.

As if subtropical or even tropical locales don't get hit with severe weather. Even the supposed paradise of Australia gets hit with rotten weather from time to time.

No comparison. Although blizzards definitely cause problems, I'll take them over massive flooding and tornadoes. Has a blizzard destroyed an entire community? No. Yes roofs can occasionally collapse, there's power outages, and other issues but there is absolutely no comparison to the severe weather often seen in the South.

According to NWS, tornadoes average 70 fatalities and 1,500 injuries per year in the US. Flash flooding 140 deaths. Winter weather averages fewer than 30 deaths per year.

When you factor in icy road deaths, that figure is MUCH higher.

Good point. I wonder what the factors are behind the NWS numbers. Not sure if traffic accidents are included.

Isn't the US south big on this Jeeves character or whatever his name was? And that Jebediah bearded guy just sitting on a cloud and sending some snakes to eat an apple or something? Nah, I wouldn't like to live in those kind of places.
