The red is alarming.

I've lived in Houston for 34 years and can only recall a handful of significant tornado warnings (the most were during Hurricane Harvey). We did have a strong line of storms earlier this spring that started about 2 hours north of me and went east towards LA/MS and AL. I'm always surprised to see people say Southeast Texas has the most tornadoes, but the ones that do occur here are very small on the Fujita Scale.

Sorry Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, etc - tornado alley is headed your way officially.

Light yellow "American" designation = Irish/Scottish

German 16.4% (49,836,146)
African American 12.2% (37,122,425)
Irish 11.8% (35,751,133)
Mexican 10.1% (30,731,943)
English 9.0% (27,403,063)
Italian 5.8% (17,566,693)
Polish 3.2% (9,835,459)
French 3.1% (9,326,180)
Dutch 1.6% (4,950,041)
Norwegian 1.5% (4,602,337)
Puerto Rican 1.5% (4,455,149)
Chinese 1.1% (3,294,615)
Filipino 0.8% (2,523,448)
Cuban 0.6% (1,690,061)
Local Native 0.5% (1,665,269)
Portuguese 0.5% (1,426,121)
Japanese 0.3% (817,103)
Navajo 0.1% (298,164)
Cherokee 0.1% (282,760)
Sioux <0.1% (119,236)
Chippewa <0.1% (115,036)

The total amount of this values is not 100% because of some ancestries that are not the majority in any county (like Russian and Scottish). Furthermore, some people identifiy themselves as “American”; I didn’t include those people in my research beacuse claiming to be “American” does not make you being a part of a specific racial/ethnic group.

I defined “Local Native”, people who identify themselves as Native but not as part of the four major Native ethnicities (Cherokee, Chippewa, Navajo, and Sioux).

I've lived in 1, 7, 8, and 12, and thanks to the Navy spent lots of time in 31 and 32. I'd say three basic and very different cultures, with minor variations.
