Technically, liberty Island is New York land in the Waters of New Jersey. At one point in time, New York claimed the entire river going out to sea and all the islands in the river as theirs, including New Jersey’s docs on the river. The two states made an agreement where New York would give up half the river to New Jersey and New York would keep the three islands in the river. CGPgrey has a great video all about it. I believe the video is about 8 minutes long. Here’s a link to his video. ua-cam.com/video/SgZ1f4ACZBQ/v-deo.htmlsi=qx84O_Z6t-5gX0k0
Actually the closest USA gets to Russia is actually 2 miles apart. Russia owns the big Diamonde island while the USA state of Alaska owns little diamonde island
While standing on top of Chimney Rock , North Carolina you can see South Carolina , Georgia , and Tennessee . Chimney Rock is currently closed due to Hurricane Helene . The people of Western North Carolina are struggling .
Check it out but the land you heard was part of Africa, well the Appalachian mountains are part of that land Moroccan mountains and so is Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. Some of the oldest mountains in the world they say when dinosaurs walked they were as tall as Mt..Everest. there erosion made the land in the lower half of Alabama Georgia, Florida beaches are sandstone eroded from those mountains. And oddly it's were a lot of Scot-Irish and African immigrants settled in. Kinda like the mountains and savannah's of African earth spoke to em.

I wish EVERYBODY would realize it doesn't need saving and do away with the whole damn thing, altogether. It is so annoying and not needed, anymore. Originally it was created to save energy during WWI. First in Germany in 1916 then in the US in 1918. Of course, even though it paused at the end of WWI it was started up, again, for WWII. The current system of DST in the US was established in 1966 by the Uniform Time Act. Sounds like something from DC's Legends of Tomorrow. lol
the thing about Hawaii is that while it is in a warm part of the world, it is surrounded by water, and the water has a huge impact on the air temperature.
I always assumed it was because they have 12 hr days and 12 hour nights all year round. No summer heat waves, long cool nights, like a constant spring.
@stephanieRobinson-n6d there's some effect from that, but the thermal mass of the water really stabilizes the temperature. The water heats slowly in the daytime and cools slowly at night, and transfers the heat to and from the air. You get the same effect in ocean and lakefront towns, to a lesser degree. My town's beachfront is normally about 5% closer to the ocean temperature than even a mile inland, and can hit 10-15% difference just 10 miles inland.
The thing about Florida's capitol city not being what most people think holds true for several other states. They are cities you may have heard of but probably don't really think about unless you're local to the region. New York - Albany, not NYC Michigan - Lansing, not Detroit California - Sacramento, not LA or San Francisco just to name a few.
There are actually TWO cities named Kansas City. Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri, side by side on the dividing state line. Kansas City, MISSOURI is actually the larger city. Another fun fact about Alaska. The US BOUGHT if from Russia, not long before gold was discovered in Alaska. Carribean islands, yeah a little misleading. The US Virgin Islands are made up of 3 main islands. The majority of the earthquakes in Alaska are small, minor and barely noticeable. It's not like they're going to knock you off your feet each and every time. Temperatures in Hawaii tend to stay in the upper 70's to lower 80's year round. Those sea breezes tend to keep it from getting overly warmed.
@@bradkirchhoff5703 One metro area, two cities. Kansas City, Missouri has its own mayor and city council, Kansas City, Kansas has a unified city-county government with Wyandotte County, Kansas. So two separate government entities.
I've been wondering if it's really two cities or if there's just one city with a state line down the center of it. If it's the latter, that would explain the fact from the video.
It's weird they didn't include the Four Corners Monument. It's located in the desert in the Navajo Nation Reservation, where New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and Utah meet. You can put one foot in New Mexico; the other in Colorado; a hand in Utah and one in Arizona. You are in all four states at once.
Hi mate! Alaska is the northern most as well as the eastern most and western most state. Another fact he left out was, the highest temperature in the world was recorded in Death Valley, California. It was one hundred and 30 something degrees Fahrenheit, which is around 50° Celsius. That's hot!
At 4 Corners, consisting of the southwestern corner of Colorado, southeastern corner of Utah, northeastern corner of Arizona, and northwestern corner of New Mexico-- you can be IN not just see, but be IN 4 States at once.

Explaining what we call the "feels like" is hard to people not from here. Even some states don't use it and if the feels like is 80° they just call it 80° not 72°
@@SwarmerGaming Being in the far Northern region of New York I understand the "feels like" rating quite well. If we have a 80 degree day during the summer and it starts to get humid it "feels like" 95 degree temperatures since you're pouring sweat just standing still because of the humidity. Now if it was a dry clear day and the temp was still 80 degrees it's not as bad. The only time you start sweating is from physical activity. Other wise just basking in the sun is relatively enjoyable.
NYC and England used to be together. I watched a doc on it and they did geological tests on both sides of the pond and found exactly where they were once together. And people still think climate change is a new phenomena. A few billion years ago, scientists approximate the temp on the surface of earth was 2000 degrees C. We are only here for a little while folks.🤨

The weather in Hawaii is PERFECT. One of the most climate controlled areas ive ever been in. The 2 times ive been it was around 83 degrees all the time with some cool winds coming from the ocean, which is all around. So everywhere gets warm sun and cooling winds.
19:18 the trick is were close to the equator so we have warmth but the undersea currents funnel the water from Antarctica around us after it filters through the Mariana trench. The balance of the position and forces keep Hawaii between 65 to 85 on average permanently.
100% Kona Coffee from Hawaii is the best coffee you'll ever taste. BUT, you have to only buy from trusted sources as a lot of it isn't 100% Kona but blends. For 100% Kona you''ll pay about $50 a pound. Well worth it for the occasional cup as a true treat.
I was in the US Navy and have sailed in and put of Pearl Harbor a few times . We bought some Kona coffee from local growers . The macadamia nuts were great .
Speaking of huge lakes in western USA, there are some ancient maps that show a lake from northern California to Southern California on its eastern border. The map names it as the RED SEA! Which I find absolutely mind blowing, because in the Bible they talk about the Red Sea, great Cedars (Sequoias?), and enough gold to build Solomon’s temple (even since the gold rush in 1849, no one has ever found the main/mother gold vein in California!)
Ukraine has 1,500 miles of caves/catacombs and Turkey has more underground cities, maybe not considered "caves" but interconnected living systems over 2,000 miles worth.
You can go to Liberty State Park in New Jersey to see the statue. If you take a boat tour, then you will be in Manhattan harbor, but the actual statue is in NJ.
Depends on how strong the earthquake is. We had one here in western Michigan a few years ago that was around 4.0, and it just felt like a big truck drove past my house. Like, I had to verify that it was indeed an earthquake, it was such a little one. But I never felt that before.
They're called the Kansas City Chiefs and play in Missouri because Kansas City runs through BOTH Kansas AND Missouri. They're the NFL team for BOTH states. Arizona doesn't have to deal with Day Light Savings because we're so hot. They don't want to add an extra hour to our day and make us deal with the heat even longer than we already do. It's bad enough that we just finally got away from breaking record high temps with temperatures between 103-110*+ up until just about a week ago and after a week of nice 70* days we're heading back into the upper 90's again this week.
I live in Kansas City, the video was a little misleading with the way they said it. Kansas City is basically one city cut in half by the river which is the boudary between Kansas and Missouri. Yes, the teams stadium is in Missouri.
It’s not one city cut in half. They’re two separate cities right next to each other. The metropolitan area covers both cities (and beyond) and that’s what is basically cut in half over state line.
I was just in Mammoth Cave (in Kentucky) and it's a massive cave--the longest in the world at 426 mi/685 km. The tour guide/park ranger said they think they've only found half of the cave! I was also in Paducah, KY this year for the eclipse and we went to a museum where we learned a man who went caving got stuck UPSIDE DOWN and died after being stuck for 27 hours. Edit: The man's name was John Edward Jones, and this happened in 2009. I was under the mistaken impression this took place like 100 years ago. There was a movie called The Last Descent (2016) about the tragedy. May he RIP!!
That is like California, everyone thinks of Los Angeles or at least San Francisco as the state's capitol. It' not, its Sacramento. The capitol city has only 526,669 residents, the metro area has 2,243,000. Also, there are 7 total cities/towns named Sacramentos in the US.
I live in Hawaii and the pictures on my wall are only straight right after I straightened them. They are always moving because the state sits on volcanic fissures and the islands are building every day. Kauai is starting to erode and is the closest island to the mainland of the USA. I’ve given up on having any wall art staying put. Hawaii is warm not Hot. There’s a difference in how the climate feels.
Lewis, look up : Avalonia, which was an ancient microcontinent. Parts of it are now in New England and Eastern Canada, Ireland, England, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany and even a tiny bit of Poland.
I just returned from a visit to Wikipedia, where I confirmed my suspicions that the Statue of Liberty is in New York waters, but surrounded by New Jersey waters.
The island where the Statue of Liberty is located is in NY, but the water surrounding the island is owned by New Jersey. So if you take a ferry from Manhattan to the Statue of Liberty, you go from NY to NJ and back to NY when you arrive at the statue.
Liberty Island (where the Statue of Liberty is located, obviously) is part of New York, while the water surrounding it is part of New Jersey. So, the Statue of Liberty is in New York - but is surrounded by New Jersey's waters.
The "piece of Africa" bit: I've been told that geologists compared rock samples and determined that the Appalachian mountain range that runs throughout the east coast states has been determined by geologists to be the middle third of an ancient range with the Scottish Highlands as the northern portion and the mountains of Morocco as the southern portion of the original range. This is the first time, however, that I've heard of French mountains being part of the old range --- Wyoming has significant lands dedicated to national preserves and parks as well as Native American lands. This reduces growth of the state population.
I live in Arizona. Not having daylight savings time means that we get to adjust naturally to the sunrise and sunset, instead of two days of year having to deal with a sudden change in daylight hours. Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to me, cuz while I live in Arizona, I technically work in Massachusetts (remotely), so I have to follow their time zone.
I live in Washington state where over 1000 earthquakes happen a year. Honestly you don't feel them or even notice them because almost all are less than a 3.0 on the richter scale. Between 3.0-4.0 you might notice something but depending on where you are when you felt it you might think it was something like a semi truck driving by. The only one that I remember being scary was a magnitude 6.8 that I experienced but what surprised me was not only was it strong but it lasted a LONG time. It's bad enough getting a really strong earthquake but a lot of people forget how long it they last. That one lasted for almost a minute. A minute is a long time and you start wondering "when is it going to end".
The big island of Hawaii reached 100 degrees one day in April of 1931 but it has never gone above 100 degrees in over 200 years since Captain Cook landed there in 1778.
Regarding Fact #33 (Maine isn't as far north as people think): Edmonton (in Alberta, Canada) is arguably the northernmost large city in North America, depending on your definition of "large city". It's also about the same latitude as Manchester and Liverpool.
While I may not be the most northern state in the US I am pretty much as far north as you can go within my state because my town is right on the Canadian border going into Quebec. :)
Two islands in the Bering Strait are 2.5 miles apart. Little Diomede Island is in Alaska; Big Diomede is in Russia. They are on opposite sides of the International Date Line.
My recent trip to Europe reminds me of how much smaller the Atlantic is. Not only do many Europeans not realize how big the US is, they also don't realize how massive the Pacific is. I flew to Paris via Seattle, and that's a 5,000 mile trip. My previous international trip was San Fransisco to Hong Kong. That's just shy of 9,000 miles. Yep, crossing both North America and the Atlantic ocean (well, really the artic....) is MUCH shorter than just crossing the Pacific.
I was a sailor in the US Navy for ten years . I sailed a destroyer out of Charleston , South Carolina , and a cruiser out of Long Beach, California . The Pacific Ocean is much larger than the Atlantic Ocean , and the Indian Ocean is also large . On a deployment to the Persian Gulf we sailed from California across the Pacific Ocean , across the Indian Ocean , and into the Persian Gulf , and back again within seven months . We sailed more miles getting to the gulf than we did in the gulf . Speaking of gulfs , the Gulf of Mexico is practically a third ocean for the US .
When Hawaii gets temperatures in the 90s, trust me, with humidity it definitely feels like 100! A lot of state capitals are smaller than their big cities making them lesser known like California is Sacramento not LA, Oregon is Salem not Portland, Washington is Olympia not Seattle, and Nevada is Carson City not Las Vegas.
With respect to Orlando not being Florida's capitol, many state capitols are NOT as well known as major cities within each state. For Texas, the capitol is Austin, which is not as well known as Houston or Dallas. For New York state, it's capitol is in Albany, NOT New York City.
And the list goes on: the capital (not "capitol"...that's the building, not the city) of Washington State is Olympia, not Seattle. California's capital is Sacramento, not L.A., and many more.
The Trans-Canada highway (4645mi/7476km) is longer than the longest in the US Route 20 (3365mi/5415km). Also Ontario Canada is more than double the size of California which is crazy when you hear that our whole country could fit inside one province.
AZ doesn’t follow Daylight Savings, because they figure it saves electricity during the summer when people are not home using AC. The desert cools at night, so the earlier it gets dark, less electricity use at home.
I lived on Adak island in the berring sea for 2- 1/2 years in the late 60s as a Navy dependent it was a fun place to explore And yeah we had little quakes all the time they weren't really big but would shake the furniture
It's figured that the Appalachians were taller than the Rockies. Comparing rocks from the east coast with Scotland was part of understanding plate tectonics. And the crazy geology of Scotland probably is why it was the birthplace of that science.
My parents were stationed in Guam in the early 7”s and my older sister was born there in 71. I was born 3 years later in UP Michigan. I’ve always thought it was a cruel joke to send my dad from a tropical island to northern Michigan.
Kansas City is a border town, it sits right on the border between Kansas and Missouri. In the Wild West days (circa Jesse James and such), it was common for Kansas citizens to jump the border to vote in Missouri elections and vice versa. Sometimes this was involuntary.
Capital of New York is Albany, not New York City. Capital of Pennsylvania is Harrisburg, but most people only know of Philadelphia & Pittsburgh. Capital of California is Sacramento, not Los Angeles. Capital of Illinois is Springfield, but a lot of people think it is Chicago.

1:31 the population of Wyoming is within the margin of error on the USA census so you can say it doesn't exist 😂
Sitka Alaska's developed area is tiny. There is only 30 miles of roadway in the city. The rest of the land, 2870 square miles, is a nature preserve.
There's a large portion which is water as well.
One of the 580,000 in Wyoming!
(The wind and winter scare a lot of people away!)
Ukraine has 1,500 miles of caves/catacombs and Turkey has more underground cities, maybe not considered "caves" but interconnected living systems over 2,000 miles worth.
I-80 goes from San Francisco to NYC.
That was my guess
Almost to NYC, but it ends in New Jersey, about a mile or so before the GWB, where it hits I-95.
You can go to Liberty State Park in New Jersey to see the statue. If you take a boat tour, then you will be in Manhattan harbor, but the actual statue is in NJ.
Depends on how strong the earthquake is.
We had one here in western Michigan a few years ago that was around 4.0, and it just felt like a big truck drove past my house.
Like, I had to verify that it was indeed an earthquake, it was such a little one. But I never felt that before.
They're called the Kansas City Chiefs and play in Missouri because Kansas City runs through BOTH Kansas AND Missouri. They're the NFL team for BOTH states. Arizona doesn't have to deal with Day Light Savings because we're so hot. They don't want to add an extra hour to our day and make us deal with the heat even longer than we already do. It's bad enough that we just finally got away from breaking record high temps with temperatures between 103-110*+ up until just about a week ago and after a week of nice 70* days we're heading back into the upper 90's again this week.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty fans know where GW was sworn in to take office.
I live in Kansas City, the video was a little misleading with the way they said it. Kansas City is basically one city cut in half by the river which is the boudary between Kansas and Missouri. Yes, the teams stadium is in Missouri.
But they are also two separate cities each with their own city governments.
It’s not one city cut in half. They’re two separate cities right next to each other. The metropolitan area covers both cities (and beyond) and that’s what is basically cut in half over state line.
I was just in Mammoth Cave (in Kentucky) and it's a massive cave--the longest in the world at 426 mi/685 km. The tour guide/park ranger said they think they've only found half of the cave!
I was also in Paducah, KY this year for the eclipse and we went to a museum where we learned a man who went caving got stuck UPSIDE DOWN and died after being stuck for 27 hours.
Edit: The man's name was John Edward Jones, and this happened in 2009. I was under the mistaken impression this took place like 100 years ago. There was a movie called The Last Descent (2016) about the tragedy. May he RIP!!
He should have said, that New York city was first seat of the current federal government, which first convened on March 4, 1789.
Also, the NFL football teams, New York Jets amd New York Giants stadium, the Meadowlands, is in New Jersey.
That is like California, everyone thinks of Los Angeles or at least San Francisco as the state's capitol. It' not, its Sacramento. The capitol city has only 526,669 residents, the metro area has 2,243,000. Also, there are 7 total cities/towns named Sacramentos in the US.
I live in Hawaii and the pictures on my wall are only straight right after I straightened them.
They are always moving because the state sits on volcanic fissures and the islands are building every day. Kauai is starting to erode and is the closest island to the mainland of the USA.
I’ve given up on having any wall art staying put.
Hawaii is warm not Hot. There’s a difference in how the climate feels.
50 billion hamburgers per year equates to roughly 0.24 hamburgers per person per day given an approximate population of 300 million people.
Newport Oregon is BEAUTIFUL. All kinds of things to do. No, I don't live there, but it's only a few hours away.
Lewis, look up : Avalonia, which was an ancient microcontinent. Parts of it are now in New England and Eastern Canada, Ireland, England, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany and even a tiny bit of Poland.
I live in Nebraska in the US and we are the most landlocked state in the country….my cousin named her gallery Landlocked
I just returned from a visit to Wikipedia, where I confirmed my suspicions that the Statue of Liberty is in New York waters, but surrounded by New Jersey waters.
There is a Kansas City, Kansas; and a Kansas City Missouri. They are part of one big metropolitan area though.
Hawaii basically has the same temperature every day. Mid to upper 80s.
Statue of liberty can be accessed From both
And the top of the Matterhorn in Switzerland is also made of rock from the African plate.
Los Angeles to Brisbane, Australia is roughly 7,200 miles, over twice the distance as New York to London, England at 3,500 miles.
The island where the Statue of Liberty is located is in NY, but the water surrounding the island is owned by New Jersey. So if you take a ferry from Manhattan to the Statue of Liberty, you go from NY to NJ and back to NY when you arrive at the statue.
Part of the island is NY and part is NJ. The statue is on the NY portion though as you state.
Australia is a 13 hour flight from Los Angeles. 2 sunsets and one sunrise later.
Liberty Island (where the Statue of Liberty is located, obviously) is part of New York, while the water surrounding it is part of New Jersey. So, the Statue of Liberty is in New York - but is surrounded by New Jersey's waters.
The average temperature in Hawaii is 85F or 29.4C and the humidity average is around 63%. I lived there in the late 70's early it's and loved it.
The "piece of Africa" bit: I've been told that geologists compared rock samples and determined that the Appalachian mountain range that runs throughout the east coast states has been determined by geologists to be the middle third of an ancient range with the Scottish Highlands as the northern portion and the mountains of Morocco as the southern portion of the original range. This is the first time, however, that I've heard of French mountains being part of the old range --- Wyoming has significant lands dedicated to national preserves and parks as well as Native American lands. This reduces growth of the state population.
I live in Arizona. Not having daylight savings time means that we get to adjust naturally to the sunrise and sunset, instead of two days of year having to deal with a sudden change in daylight hours. Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to me, cuz while I live in Arizona, I technically work in Massachusetts (remotely), so I have to follow their time zone.
I live in Washington state where over 1000 earthquakes happen a year. Honestly you don't feel them or even notice them because almost all are less than a 3.0 on the richter scale. Between 3.0-4.0 you might notice something but depending on where you are when you felt it you might think it was something like a semi truck driving by. The only one that I remember being scary was a magnitude 6.8 that I experienced but what surprised me was not only was it strong but it lasted a LONG time. It's bad enough getting a really strong earthquake but a lot of people forget how long it they last. That one lasted for almost a minute. A minute is a long time and you start wondering "when is it going to end".
The big island of Hawaii reached 100 degrees one day in April of 1931 but it has never gone above 100 degrees in over 200 years since Captain Cook landed there in 1778.
here's your bonus fact: the Roe river is an artificial waterway, and it is longer than the 120 foot long D river in Oregon.
Its 135 burgers and fifty hot dogs per person per year...... that aint much
13 Lives. A movie about kids trapped in a cave, and their rescue. Amazing flick!
Pahala Hawaii hit 100° f on April 27th 1943
The statue of liberty is on NY land surrounded by NJ water.
The statue of liberty IS in NY.
Regarding Fact #33 (Maine isn't as far north as people think):
Edmonton (in Alberta, Canada) is arguably the northernmost large city in North America, depending on your definition of "large city". It's also about the same latitude as Manchester and Liverpool.
While I may not be the most northern state in the US I am pretty much as far north as you can go within my state because my town is right on the Canadian border going into Quebec. :)
The undersea current and undersea mounds also protect us from tsunami and hurricanes.. from most common directions.
Two islands in the Bering Strait are 2.5 miles apart. Little Diomede Island is in Alaska; Big Diomede is in Russia. They are on opposite sides of the International Date Line.
My recent trip to Europe reminds me of how much smaller the Atlantic is. Not only do many Europeans not realize how big the US is, they also don't realize how massive the Pacific is. I flew to Paris via Seattle, and that's a 5,000 mile trip. My previous international trip was San Fransisco to Hong Kong. That's just shy of 9,000 miles.
Yep, crossing both North America and the Atlantic ocean (well, really the artic....) is MUCH shorter than just crossing the Pacific.
I was a sailor in the US Navy for ten years . I sailed a destroyer out of Charleston , South Carolina , and a cruiser out of Long Beach, California . The Pacific Ocean is much larger than the Atlantic Ocean , and the Indian Ocean is also large . On a deployment to the Persian Gulf we sailed from California across the Pacific Ocean , across the Indian Ocean , and into the Persian Gulf , and back again within seven months . We sailed more miles getting to the gulf than we did in the gulf . Speaking of gulfs , the Gulf of Mexico is practically a third ocean for the US .
Your spanish-speaking skills are flawless! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Hell Yeah! Puerto Rico mentioned!!!
Guam , American Samoa , and US Virgin Islands weren't mentioned . Guam is the first piece of US land to see the rising sun on on a new day .
When Hawaii gets temperatures in the 90s, trust me, with humidity it definitely feels like 100! A lot of state capitals are smaller than their big cities making them lesser known like California is Sacramento not LA, Oregon is Salem not Portland, Washington is Olympia not Seattle, and Nevada is Carson City not Las Vegas.
With respect to Orlando not being Florida's capitol, many state capitols are NOT as well known as major cities within each state. For Texas, the capitol is Austin, which is not as well known as Houston or Dallas. For New York state, it's capitol is in Albany, NOT New York City.
And the list goes on: the capital (not "capitol"...that's the building, not the city) of Washington State is Olympia, not Seattle. California's capital is Sacramento, not L.A., and many more.
The Trans-Canada highway (4645mi/7476km) is longer than the longest in the US Route 20 (3365mi/5415km). Also Ontario Canada is more than double the size of California which is crazy when you hear that our whole country could fit inside one province.
The Kentucky caves have different route options, some even being wheelchair accessible and not very claustrophobic!
My son lives in Wyoming, a town of 2000 people. A town down the road has 22 people .
Your Spanish pronunciation is impeccable.
AZ doesn’t follow Daylight Savings, because they figure it saves electricity during the summer when people are not home using AC. The desert cools at night, so the earlier it gets dark, less electricity use at home.
I lived on Adak island in the berring sea for 2- 1/2 years in the late 60s as a Navy dependent it was a fun place to explore
And yeah we had little quakes all the time they weren't really big but would shake the furniture
It's figured that the Appalachians were taller than the Rockies. Comparing rocks from the east coast with Scotland was part of understanding plate tectonics. And the crazy geology of Scotland probably is why it was the birthplace of that science.
Takes 14 hours to fly to Australia from the USA mainland approximately.
Rhe only Springfield is the Simpsons. Gawd I love this guy! 😂
Look closely at Alaska, It's a bear in a reclining chair going "BANG! BANG!" with his finger, with a baby bear in his lap going, "PEW! PEW!"
My parents were stationed in Guam in the early 7”s and my older sister was born there in 71. I was born 3 years later in UP Michigan. I’ve always thought it was a cruel joke to send my dad from a tropical island to northern Michigan.
20 billion hotdogs with our population means 70 hotdogs per year per American.
We lived in Alaska for 4 years and only experienced 1 eathquake that could actually be felt.
Kansas City is a border town, it sits right on the border between Kansas and Missouri. In the Wild West days (circa Jesse James and such), it was common for Kansas citizens to jump the border to vote in Missouri elections and vice versa. Sometimes this was involuntary.
Was there somebody shooting at the voters' feet as they were jumping?
Capital of New York is Albany, not New York City. Capital of Pennsylvania is Harrisburg, but most people only know of Philadelphia & Pittsburgh. Capital of California is Sacramento, not Los Angeles. Capital of Illinois is Springfield, but a lot of people think it is Chicago.
