AskMen also has us as the #2 extreme weather location. Again, they have a "Most Tornadic", but nothing about Hurricanes.

Woot! They took it down...

I wrote in a few times to the Editor..threatened a few lawsuits.. j/k. But, I did write. It may not be a big thing for most people, but it matters a lot to me.

This is where I choose to raise my children and the last thing I want to read or have other people say about our home is that it's Hell on Earth regardless of the reason.

Guys,

Forget about it.

The whole thing was created by an elitist, ex-pat author in Europe who just picked a city off the map. If it wasn't us, it was Little Rock or Mobile.

They're all having a chuckle at some pub as we speak giggling and rolling their eyes at our responses and reaction.

Move on. It's nothing.

It's hilarious that the article talks about us having blizzards. I have occasionally read AskMen.com off and on for some time now. They obviously don't do much research, and I guess this article just proves they don't do any. They just print whatever the hell crosses their desk. We don't have blizzards here. That's a pretty easy fact to check, and it is clear that is supposed to be one of the few facts of the story, not part of the 'light-hearted banter' of the article.

How many days do we see tornadoes in OKC? A dozen? Half that which actually touch down here?

There are so many places in this country that suffer from hurricanes, fires, mudslides, earth quakes, rock slides, riots, floods, etc. and that's just southern California! Pretty ridiculous.

After further research, it was a 23-year old, privileged British kid that penned the article. Just threw it together for some laughs. He claims to be an 'expert' on travel writing and topics related to luxury and pop culture.

Don't mind it. It was poorly written and researched. If you should be angry at anyone, it's AOL and Askman.com for sticking it up there.

There is an international fixation with tornadoes seeing as 95% of them occur in the US. And a good chunk of those in Oklahoma I'd imagine. Maybe that's what it is.

This just in....apparently OKC's Keyser Söze himself is behind this!!!! LOL
