The only reason that florida gets some more powerful storms is because they get more storms on a day by day basis. Chicago has FAR fewer days with thunderstorms than florida does.
Thunderstorms on the great planes and midwest are some of the most powerful storms mile by mile than any other event on earth. One midwest thunderstorm may contain the energy equivelent to many atom bombs. Midwest thunderstorm tops often reach well over 40,000 feet and sometimes bust through the tropopause. Florida thunderstorms are often low topped cells that do not contain large powerful updrafts.
I would pick a midwest supercell over a florida thunderstorm any day.

Oh yeah I really wanna listen to someone with "666" in their name.
Papas, do not attack other members on this forum. It is not a swear word and outside of religon has no significant meaning. Please, we don't judge you on your name so we expect the same from you.
In other news: Go Cubbies! 1st place Cubs might I add. Offense and pitching have been great as of late. Lets watch wood nail down the sweep tonight! This Sox Yanks series has me in deep conflict. On one hand, I despertly hope that the Sox loose. On the other, I have an undieing hatetred twords the Yankees. So this series has been tough. I guess I would of pulled for the Sox at the beggining, but now I hope the Yankees sweep the Sox at home. This is the last Sox Yankees series of the year (I'm confident they wont meet in the post season), so it is the only time that I will ever wish the Yankees or Sox to win. 
Damaso! Bout time someone on my fantasy team gets a save (Gordado, pssht).
As some of you know, the Tiny town of Utica Illinois was heavily damaged in a very powerful Tornado that hit the town Tuesday. This Saturday i will be in Utica as part of a Red Cross Volunteer to help the victims of this tragedy. You can also help your fellow Illinoians by logging on to RedCross.org and donate canned goods or clothes or money to the victims of this terrible tragedy.
I saw some photos of that on my local NBC station, totally horrific. The roof of a grage was lifted off and was found on the next block.

Maddux pitched a great game for the Cubs.
^ I have always wanted to say that. 
Cubs win 3-1 and improve to 10-6 on the season. Eh, what's up?
Sox win in ten, We are also 10-6
Dang we need some arms in the pen Around the world and back
The pen was awesome today. Dr. Zero, Cotts, and Koch all did a great job.
If you notice Dr. Zero keeps being used more and more as the season goes on. Take away the first outing at Yankee Stadium and he has been DARN good. Great scouting and pick up.
On Tuesday April 20th 2004, Deadly Tornadoes Struck Utica Illinois, Leveling the Historic Town and Killing 8 people. That same storm system headed north and struck Joliet causing millions of dollars worth of damage. Now the RedCross and WGN TV and Radio need your help
https://mccormicktribune.org/donations/startapp.aspx?campaignid=58 When you contribute to the Utica/Joliet Illinois DIsaster Relief fund, WGN will match 50 cents to every dollar you pledge. The fundrasier lasts until May 1st. Please donate to this very important cause.

Do I Know You, just curious, do you have a life?

Cubs win- I was busy training at my new job so I couldn't see it. Sounded like Wood pitched his game of the year thus far.
5 in a row for the Cubs now. Wood has 9 Ks in 7 innings I think no runs and only 3 or 4 hits. Sosa hit his 5th home run.
