I agree.

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.
Or May-November in the case of Melbourne

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.

The only parts of the South that see tornadoes are the extreme inland fringes well into the continent. Places of the South closer to the coast do not see such severe storms, and are paradise. This storm only occured in the extreme inland portion of the South; during the same time-period, the entire Texas Coast, and the Florida peninsula were having gorgeous sunny days.

There is no "paradise" anywhere, including the South of the US.

Where are you from? I have my suspicions you are not even from the US, let alone the South. You may be in Texas right now, but I get this feeling you ain't from around these parts.

If people interpreted this thread as a troll thread, then I am sorry; the purpose of this thread wasn't to troll. Rather, it was to refute the notion that the American South is somehow the subtropical region that sees the coldest winter mins. That obviously is not true.

No matter how many times you repeat it, it won't come true.
Compared to places at the same latitude it is colder in winter, and the record lows are insane.
