[QUOTE="Cavagan, post: 2102427, member: 10175"] Based on some basic data pulled from across the web ( [URL="http://www.flame.org/~cdoswell/Tornado_Distributions/TorDistributions.html"]here[/URL], [url="http://www.abetterlifeokc.com/main/climate/"]here[/url], and [url="http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ok/oklahoma-city/crime/"]here[/url], to name a few sources) it's pretty easy to see from simple numbers of incident occurences that the likelihood of being a victim of a property crime or violent personal crime is statistically higher. In regards to tornadoes There are roughly 1300 tornadoes on average that strike the US annually. Average that against the population, and it becomes plain the chances are low (although arguably higher here in OK). Whereas your chances of being the victim of a property crime in Oklahoma are about 1 in 30 according to a couple different sources I found, and about 1 in 220 of being the victim of a violent crime. Take a look at the last part of this graphic and you can get a quick idea of your chances of being the victim of a burglary: [b][Broken External Image][/b] [URL="http://www.spc.noaa.gov/faq/tornado/index.html#Climatology"]There are LOTS of other resources out there that could be used to draw comparisons[/URL]. I think it's safe to conclude your chances of being the victim of any type of crime is much higher than the odds of your house being struck by a tornado. [/QUOTE]
