Plum Island bio-warfare level 4 lab research moved to Kansas. Middle of tornado country. I'm sure it will be fine.

Plum Island was horribly mismanaged and is long believed to be the originator of US Lyme disease.

Initially estimated to cost $451 million, the price tag more than doubled after the National Research Council published a report in 2010 that questioned putting the facility in the heart of cattle country with a history of large, destructive tornadoes.

The northeastern Kansas facility will be the nation’s only large-animal biosafety Level 4 lab, which means it will be able to handle pathogens that do not currently have treatments or countermeasures.

They were 100% the cause of Lyme disease. The guy who figured out what was actually making the locals sick won awards and money etc. It was later revealed he was a researcher of the disease on Plum island.

The Midwest definitely needs more bullshit spread by ticks or an outbreak of hoof and mouth disease.
