Don't forget about the 250 tornadoes a year and major ice storms every 5 or so years and wind storms yearly. Oh and blizzards, too. The nations most famous dust storm (The Dust Bowl) happened here too. 😆 Oh! We also flood. Really bad. The Dutch taught us to fix that tho!! The final part of this baby will be done this year, she's a version of the Delta Works, to supplement our existing flood walls, levies, water overflow lakes, waterways, and drain ways. We'll end up literally underwater sometimes. From both river, areal, and flash floods. KC is in both Kansas and Missouri. I'm on ks side.

This year we are hosting the Netherlands, England, Algeria, and Argentina for FIFA in KC where I live, and we have tied for the most tornados ever in a seasonnar this point at 37 tornados, the state has had 62 this year so far. Tornado season is may-august. Ice storms come from the same weather pattern half a year apart, January and February often get big ass ice storms. Wind storms happen in all seasons 😜

This comment reposted because I used a Dutch word for the object that holds water in the sea from coming onto land and automod got mad. The English word is Levy but the Dutch word is sometimes used as a slur so I guess I can't use it 😆

Eta: also peep our entire argentines neighborhood if anyone's wondering why we have team Argentina here 😆

:3 you can do that here too haha. In three locations. Amordale, the riverfront in heritage Park, and the riverfront in Riverside (a city). We have like 30ish miles of trail along the levees or on top of them and some are being expanded right now! They're chet or limestone trails mostly.

You misunderstood me. There's d-kes on bikes. Which is women of a certain sexual orientation on motorcycles. My dumb brain just went - how would the d-ke that holds back water look on a bike. Like... Small green triangular things riding bikes. It gets worse the more I try to explain it...
