Answer 1

Midwest areas of Kansas and Oklahoma and Texas has a few.

Answer 2

Nothing like a good choropleth map to drive home a point. Any grade four student should be able to look at that and recognise that some of the darkest red runs from Texas north to Nebraska. Any grade 4 four student should also be able to tell you the significance of that being your nation's breadbasket. Less rainfall, less glacial runoff and depleted aquifers is definitely not a good thing. Alarming is hardly the word for a nation with the population of the US. Alarming was ten years ago. Critical may be more appropriate. Disastrous is yet to come. You may want to suggest that your GIS department run those maps into Canada and see what they think will happen north of the 49th. There may be a little land in Canada that will be able compensate for US loses in agriculture by 2050 due to an extended growing season, but we also need to consider reduced rainfall over the prairies.

Locate the US on a map.
Recall where some tornado's have occurred and note the area, state etc.
