Truly, you Texans must be very hardy people.

Y'all left out sharks, little Black Widow spiders, rabies, tornadoes, lightning storms, 24hr temperature shift from 25 degrees C to snow and ice, and back to 25C in 24 more hrs, droughts, grass fires, floods, javelinas (wild peccary, a form of native hog - most dangerous), lots of guns, mesquite trees, huisach trees, prickly pear, pincusion cactus, and alligators (both actual and alligators gars (up to 8 feet in length with jaws 2-3 feet long)).
To us natives, home sweet home. (Sorta explains why the gov't has used Texans for shock troops since the US Civil War...)
