Huh? We have it all, man. Heat waves, blizzards, earthquakes, and tornadoes.
You may have it all, but I'm dubious about southerners handling it all. I was in the Washington DC area when it was hit with a whopping 1/2 inch of snow. The locals could so obviously not handle it that I prudently decided to drive straight to my apartment rather than to stop at a restaurant on the way home. Walking seemed safer than driving. My apartment was immediately adjacent to a shopping mall which contained my destination eating place. Walking back after my meal I passed four accidents in about a quarter mile...
OK. So I'm a New Englander. I don't have experience with earthquakes. So sue me...
