In the Kansas City area we get tornadoes, high winds, hail, and isolated flooding. All in all, not a lot of natural disaster risk.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Has Godzilla or any other monster ever attacked a city in the Midwest? I mean, if you're a lazy monster who's non-native to the US, cities on the coasts are much easier to destroy....

I don't think the Midwest is subject to giant monster attacks. Maybe there has been a giant insect or two, but I'm not sure. I guess I could consult the reference
I bet you can't even get giant monster insurance in New York.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
NC. In the 25 years I've been here the state has offered me hurricanes, floods, forest fires, tornadoes, severe drought, ice storms, and one amazing blizzard that dumped 3+ feet of snow onto a county that has maybe one working snowplow.
No major earthquakes yet, though. Or volcanoes. Or Godzillas.

It's amazing at how many punches he can throw while remaining standing on only his hind legs.

Sounds like someone hasn't seen The Beginning of the End. Peter Graves is all that stands between Chicago and giant locusts!

We can always find giant newts to eat the giant locusts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I love him. Is this in his silver fox phase too?
Okay, up to date on Natter. I feel this means I should go to sleep, but I suspect it bears another meaning. Still, my inbox is looking decent too. It's my voicemail that's looming.
