I am trying to explain geography to my Iowa friends and relatives, again.
I'm in the Tampa area. That's about the middle of the Gulf Coast.
If I want to drive to another state, the nearest is Georgia. About three and a half hours.
The other state border is Alabama. Because of the inverted L shape of the state, it's a lot farther... Six and three quarters hours to cross at I-10.
Ames is about dead center in Iowa. Illinois is three hours. Minnesota is an hour and a half. Missouri is one and three quarters hours. Nebraska is two and a half hours.
Things that happen in Florida places that always get phone calls and messages...
Miami is 299 miles and four and a half hours from here.
Cape Canaveral / Kennedy Space Center is 154 miles and two and half hours from here.
Daytona is 163 miles and three hours from here.
Orlando / Disney World is 94 miles and an hour and a half from here.
Key West is 444 miles and seven and a quarter hours from here.
Yes, Iwegians, Daytona is as far as Kansas City; Kennedy Space Center is as far as Omaha; Key West is as far as Chicago; Miami is as far as Minneapolis.
You might notice that we don't call YOU when something happens in those places!
