And on the West Slope, no freakin tornadoes, hurricanes, or major floods.  Our biggest natural disasters are usually wildfires, and even those are now more often not "natural", but human-caused.  
I'll take an avalanche over a tornado any day.   And I was raised in Oklahoma!
And Monte, we apparently have at least 32% less grumpy people in CO. Maybe it's because we live in Colorado!  hee hee  
 
  
I thought our biggest "natural disaster" was Hooch running out of Crunchy Frog or Bacon! Wait a minute.....neither of those has ever happened.
