Court Review: Volume 42, Issue 3-4 - President’s Column

Living in Northeastern Ohio, we are constantly promoting this part of the state as an area virtually free of natural disasters. Oh sure, we have our lake-effect snow, which we have learned to treat as more of an inconvenience and annoyance than a danger. Hurricanes? Those are reserved for the coastal states.

Tornadoes? Hello, Kansas! Northeastern Ohio hasn’t experienced one in 35 years. Droughts?

We may have an occasional dry spell during the summer but we always have the Great Lakes as a plentiful water source. Mudslides? Never. Forest fires?

Doesn’t happen. Earthquakes? Minor blips on the Richter Scale.
