Well, I'm not sure if you mean Obama, Republicans, or Oklahomans are being picked on, but I can state without any hesitation at all that there is no reason beyond that we happen to occupy a planet that is it's own living (if you will) entity, and part of that living planet means that when hot air meets cool air in a certain way, tornados develop, and nowhere in the world does this happen more frequently than the stretch along Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas. Northern Alabama and Mississippi. This is so prevalent in this area that it's known as Tornado Alley. In a similar fashion, when Mt St Helens erupted so violently almost exactly 33 years ago, there were some that pointed to this as God bing angry with us or mother earth or whatever they wanted to call it, either unaware or ignoring the fact that Volcanoes abound here in the northwest, that St Helens got there in the same way, as did Rainier and Hood and Shasta and Crater Lake in particular. That is why, because compared to the planet we live on we are tiny specks of matter.
