First named storm of the year

[Amanda Morrison]

You guys should just head up to the Midwest. I can't remember the last hurricane we had... Thanks for the heads up though, Ryan.

All midwest hurricane jokes aside, we get a lot of inclement weather, just not usually to extremes. Although, I was surprised to learn that people in the Northeast (Canada, too?) don't have to have tornado drills in their schools. From kindergarten to senior year of high school, I can remember hearing the alarm and having to go sit indian-style in the hallways with a hardcover book tented over my head. I guess I never really thought about it, I just thought everyone had to have those drills...
