America in flames

The US states least affected by natural disasters are Alaska, Main, Michigan and Vermont; based on your post, I assume they're filled with rich people?

I'm surprised New Hampshire isn't on that list...

It is interesting that some of the poorest, white-trash areas of the country are the safest. At least in Maine, the only natural disaster I can remember is the ice storm of 98, which, aside from knocking out power for a week, mostly amounted to an extra week of school vacation that winter.

Wow! Way to stereotype there. I guess the name fits.

I'm a card-carrying backwoods yankee redneck, so I get to talk about my people that way.

Can't let the folks from away in on the secret. But it involves Moxie, red hotdogs, and the one true recipe for a real ham hoagie.
