Not enough news, I guess

Okay, on Facebook I got a notification that a nearby news station was "live".
Sure enough, it was true.
They were live, talking about the fact that neither Kansas nor Oklahoma has had a tornado yet this year. I guess that is just not really newsworthy to me.
Tomorrow, April 26 would make it the latest on record not to have one.
I sure hope those guys did not jinx us by talking about it.

I know! I hate those live videos, sometimes one starts and I cannot get rid of it.

We had a warning last week and have to say we don't ever need one here!

That's what I was thinking, best not to say anything.

I guess we are still somewhat superstitious.

I think we set new records. Still none in Kansas. Not sure about Oklahoma.

That is good news that there are still none in Kansas where you live.

I hope they didn't jinx you either. I don't know why people have to make everything a statistic.

I guess some people think in statistics, but you are correct, this is overplayed.

So far my community seems to be off the beaten path for twisters.

It's a blessing that there have not been any tornadoes in those areas.
One of those cases where, no news is good news.

And "no news" makes your Facebook feed.

I mean, it would freak me out a little.. as I would think of them probably jinxing it too.. but wouldn't really be newsworthy to me either.
