Hell yeah

One thing to consider is how much technology has improved and how that has impacted tornado numbers. Back in the 50’s and 60’s, we didn’t have NEXRAD radar stations detecting tornadoes (especially nighttime and the QLCS variety) the way we do today. The increase in tornado numbers can be attributed to that factor, much much more than climate factors. Even with the Gulf being warmer than ever, we’ve had below average tornado counts in recent years. Tornadoes are driven by factors much smaller scale than climate (mesoscale).

I don’t see any way Harris wins this.

Can’t speak for West Virginia, but Oklahoma isn’t a bad state to live in.

I went with knife and stand by that If for some reason I had the bat and someone else had the knife, I definitely wouldn't try to hit them with a full wind up swing. I'd keep my distance and swing the bat with one hand at the bottom and the other closer to the middle area. It wouldn't have the power of a wind up swing, but I'd have much better control of it and be able to strike with it quicker. You wouldn't be able to get inside close to me and if you lunged at me with the knife I'd hit towards your wrist/arm. Seen someone pull a bat on one of my good friends in a road rage incident and he took that shit away and beat them with it. He didn't even have a knife.

Sounds good in theory, but I'm going to be charging at you with a knife, so even if I'm in excruciating pain my momentum would carry me straight towards you. I only need to get one good stick in. I've never broken a major bone, nor been hit by a bat so I can't speak on experience from that perspective, but I've been in a lot of fights. In the heat of the moment with adrenaline and anger, you'd be surprised how much pain/what kind of hit you can absorb. At least that's how it's been for me at least. I'll make you a bet. Let me stick you in the abdomen with a knife and we'll see how hard you can then swing a baseball bat.

Didn't read all the comments. In a true life or death - fight to the finish - I'd rather have the knife. I would try to bait a couple of swing and misses. As soon as there was a swing I would rush in, absorb a blow with left arm if need be, and stab towards the torso. I may end up with a broken arm, but there's a much better chance I'm going to land a fatal hit.

Love this signing.
