What are the states in the upper and lower Midwest weather region?

The Midwest is a colorful synonym for the North Central States. Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota & South Dakota compose the Upper Midwest. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas compose the Lower Midwest. Iowa and Nebraska could be put in either subregion. Some maps show an incorrect depiction of these subregions. ALL portions of states like Indiana and Missouri lie within the Lower Midwest. Even calling the northern ends of Ohio and Illinois the "Upper Midwest" is stretching the truth. Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee and Oklahoma are South Central States. And consequently, they are NOT part of the Midwest. These latter states are part of the Mid-South.

Why is the south in more danger from hurricanes than the Midwest or northeast?

The South is more vulnerable to hurricanes due to its geographic location along the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, where these storms typically form and gain strength. The warm waters in these regions fuel hurricane development, while the flat coastal terrain allows storms to make landfall with greater impact. In contrast, the Midwest and Northeast are less prone to hurricanes, as they are located further inland and often experience cooler ocean temperatures that diminish storm intensity. Additionally, the prevailing weather patterns tend to steer hurricanes away from these northern regions.
