Come on people; lets put this into perspective.
Average number of deaths in Ks/ year from tornados? 2 Two!! As in one, two!!!
Average number of deaths in the US/ year from tornados? Around 60
Average number of deaths in the US/ year from falling out of bed? Around 450!
Average number of deaths in the US/ year from vending machines? Around 13!
Average number of deaths in the US/ year from ants? Around 30!
Sooooooooooo, what does all of this mean? Well, one way to look at it is you have a 15x's greater chance of getting killed by ants than getting killed by a tornado while in Ks!
OR
You have a 7x's more of a chance of getting killed by a vending machine in the trailer park you're staying at then getting killed by a tornado!
My advice. Don't worry about getting killed by tornado's or vending machines or ants. I don't.
Now heart disease? You might want to think about that.........600,000 people die from it each and every year in the US!!!
