in terms of getting hit by tornadoes... Madison does get hit pretty often...

really the Shoals is the one who seems to luck out on getting "missed"... in the state of bama as far as tornadoes coming through: Tuscaloosa gets hit pretty often, Cullman/Arab get hit pretty often, and Madison gets hit pretty often... of course you COULD get hit at any time but those spots seem to be the "tornado alleys" of the state

now given, MOST of the time its not like April 27th, that was the perfect storm, and a system of that caliber has NEVER happened in modern times... so usually, its not that bad... and no matter where you go, you're going to have to deal with some kind of natural disaster

The roads here all stay in really great condition. And that speaks highly of the city and state.

I never realized it, but the roads and area make up a big part of why the scene here is so large. That and the amount of disposable income.
Thx, yes I saw that last time I went down their last year. I want to drive the Z down there next month, when I go down. Hopefully with interviews lined up, but I am unsure on how much gas it will be and if I want to put that much stress on it. I may have to sell it before I actually move down to help get better family mobile. Then will get another one a yr down the road. So it makes me want to do the drive.

Do you know who at PTC is building it? For your sake you should hope its Ed or Johnny cause if anybody else touches it you might as well count on taking it back out.
