Why Does the U.S. Have More Tornadoes Than Anywhere Else on Earth?
Discussion of the geography of tornadoes and why the U.S. is the country that sees the largest number of tornadoes in the world. I go over the physical factors that are different in the U.S. compared to other regions and what makes the central parts of North America unique.

    It’s great to see so many positive comments about Cleveland. I have lived here almost 4 years, and the city has a lot of interesting areas and places to explore. I just get so down with the negativity sometimes because people are hanging onto old Cleveland. Cleveland has a lot in store. The new riverfront plan has been approved, and the lakefront is being reimagined and hopefully this will take off! Also, property values have gone up significantly since we have owned our house. Cleveland is going to be the next big thing in Ohio!

    The only NHL team that matters to me is the Habs (in 93, they had Roy). For NFL, it's the Dolphins (in 82, they had Marino). For the NBA, it's the Hornets (because a Hornets cap was the only one I liked in the shop), and for the MLB, it's the Red Sox (Sam Malone and Cheers). But then I'm from Yorkshire, England, so what do I know? 😂❤😂

    I went there last year. I rented a car and am glad I did. This way I could go where I wanted when I wanted. You're right about the roads. That was the one thing I really didn't like. They are narrow, twisty, and steep. I didn't like when someone came up behind me. A lot of times they would beep their horn and pass me. I felt like I was holding up traffic. The food was excellent, especially fresh squeezed juice. The people were friendly. When I first got there it was already dark because my flight was delayed and I had a hard time finding my place to stay. I actually went to the wrong place, but someone knew where I was supposed to go and helped me get there. My flight layover was in Puerto Rico, not Miami. I believe there are more flights to Dominica out of there than Florida. I would absolutely go back. I'm not much of a hiker, but there are still a lot of things to do. My favorite place was Jungle Bay. It wasn't cheap, but it was a nice place and had very beautiful gardens of fruit trees. I really love the people. Everyone I dealt with was friendly and welcoming to me.

    Europe is a little north of the USA. New York City is in the northern US, but despite that, it’s at the exact same latitude as Naples, Italy, which is in southern Europe. There are many examples of this, Washington DC is equal to Lisbon, Portugal, Chicago is identical to Rome, Venice is north of Minneapolis, Seattle is very close to Budapest and Munich, South Florida is equal to southern Egypt, and Paris is identical to Angle Inlet, MN, which is the northernmost point in the lower 48.

    Maryland's state capitol was built in 1772, thank you. It perfectly fits the deep history of the state, as does the capital city Annapolis. The anonymous office building in Juneau AK captures Alaskans' attitude toward government and civilized life in general. Overall, it appears that Geography King is looking for European-style monumental buildings somewhere between St. Paul's of London and the palace at Versailles. Seeing all those grandiose state capitols in one place, it seems slightly grotesque that so many states that pride themselves on being just plain American folks have such imposing-looking pseudo-Roman buildings as symbols of their governments. Montana and Arkansas - really??? Who actually runs those down-home states?

    Mr Geography King. I like your videos and I'm suscribe to your channel. But in this particular one you rather than evaluating if what some people says about you Americans is true or not, you have been trying to justify why it is not a problem what other opine on you. Example: because your country is larger in size than most western Europe and your are surrounded by English speakers looks a good reason for just knowing one language? What about the comparation of population size? Following your logic the Russians should only speak Russian and be weak in geography. My understanding of the reason is quite simpler: Americans don't need to learn a 2nd language because you simple don't need it. Most movies, business communications, all type of meetings are in English. So why learn another. Regarding geography, my children attended the highschool in TX, and I don't recall them studying any history or geography other than north American.

    The real boundary in Maryland between the Norway and South, is Baltimore's Inner Harbor, or more generally the Patapsco River. The north half of the city and the countryside to the north are more like Pennsylvania, while the Southern half of the city and lands to the south are more like central Virginia. Ohio is another split state. Southeast Ohio is Appalachian Piedmont, while the northwest is very flat due the Ice Age glaciers. The industrial areas are in the flat regions.
