Oh flat land is the best there is for weather safety. You can always see what's coming!!! Storm spotting in hilly areas can be terrifying, for a number of reasons.
I’ve only been through Kansas once by bus. Whatever that route was, it was exceptionally flat. However, I’m from Illinois and while parts of it are flat, we also have lovely rolling hills. But anyone driving the interstates through the center of IL on I-57, particularly in the southern part, is going to come away thinking it’s a rather ugly, flat state.
Oh, I agree. I’m just saying that these thoughts of prairie states being flat persist in part because some of the main routes through them show mostly flat areas. But get off the interstates and explore a little, and it may be entirely different.
Jewels....you will laugh at this and shake your head at the same time. Back in the mid 1990s a new manager was headed in my husbands department. The new manager has always lived in St Louis and never took a vacation out of that area. He got a transfer and promotion to Wichita, KS. He called and talked to all 6 employees under him....he was scared to come. He thought Kansas was the Wild West. That we did not have a lot out here and this still bothers me to this day....he thought there were Indians and Cowboys out here...shooting everyone. When he got here he was shocked Wichita was a normal city! We may be flat but there are rolling hills, mysteries of hidden gold in the hills, plus other sites. People really do not know Kansas.
