The irony of the century: The blue people feel the least blue

Tornadoes don’t normally hit us this time of year. Kentucky had a wild one back in December, but here in North Carolina, we usually don’t get hit by them in January or February. That being said, it’s not unheard of, and it’s best to know what your risk is in Cabarrus County!

Luckily, FEMA has put together a map of Tornado Risk by county, so you can follow this link to find the map: https://hazards.fema.gov/nri/tornado.

I’ve also popped the map into the top of this article, so you can take a quick peek at that picture and see what shade your county is. It’s not horrendous here, but it’s also not great. We’re somewhere between Oklahoma and Alaska in Tornado damage risk. The good news is we’re fairly safe from avalanches and tsunamis!
