I've lived in Kansas City and can tell you that worrying about a tornado knocking out my internet or any sort of service was never an issue.
Is the Wizard of Oz your reference for weather in KC? ;)
- corin_ 14y agoI know your question is a joke but for me... it pretty much is. I know bugger all about KC, except that in the back of my head there's a connection to Dorothy.
- tedunangst 14y agoFun fact: Kansas City is not in Kansas. :)
- corin_ 14y agoActually I do (or at least thought I did) know two other things, one being that it is split across two states, and the other being that the KC Royals come from there. Having now Googled... wow, so they're technically two cities with the same name literally right next to each other, not one big city? And turns out the Royals are from KC, MO, but I presume they have a lot of support from KC, KS as well?
- drgath 14y ago> so they're technically two cities with the same name literally right next to each other, not one big city? It's one metropolitan area, but governmentally, yes, it is 2 separate cities (+ a lot of suburban cities). Politically, it's a dysfunctional family. It's really hard to get anything done, but occasionally that works to the benefit because you have competing governments. Most of the time its a detriment though. The sports teams get support from both sides of the state line.
- Agathos 14y agoKansas City, KS is.
- rsheridan6 14y agoIce storms are another story. When I lived in KC I had week-long outages twice due to ice storms knocking over large fractions of trees.
- mayneack 14y agoMy reference is living in mid Missouri - we've had a bit of fun recently with tornadoes and other weather related outages are common. Granted, I live in a small town, so we probably have worse infrastructure than KC.
