Tornadoes / Bad Weather

Some very bad weather in many parts of the USA last night, and this past week or so. Several tornadoes have done much damage to many states, and many lives have been lost:

Hope all our friends here at Fringes who live in the USA are well and didn't suffer much damage during these storms.

Those storms came through my area, but didn't do any significant damage around here as far as I know. There were tornadoes a few cities over, I think, but none in the local area.

Ah ! Never seen a tornado here in France (hopefully !) but where do you live exactly in the USA, you two ? (if you want to tell, indeed !). As a "fan" of history and geography, I'm eager to know it (and verify it on a map shortly after )
