Spread across ten of the United States, the Great Plains lie west of the Mississippi River and East of the Rocky Mountains. The Plains experience very cold and harsh winters as well as very hot and humid summers and suffer through a dust storm almost every year. The Great Plains also host lightning storms through the spring and summer and are also home to the famous "tornado alley" which is the most active tornado region of the world. Los Angeles, as mentioned before have four distinct seasons with summers being sunny and only reaching highs of about 90 degrees and low fifties for the winter season. Unlike the Great Plains, Los Angeles' main concern are not tornadoes, but mainly Earthquakes as it is located in the state that houses the San Andreas Fault.
