Things that make you go hmmm

Looking at drought levels (high) and severe weather (low), I think I've seen a connection.   Take Kansas for example (I'm hearing the lyrics from Toto's Africa..but wrong Toto).  It has the highest annual number of tornados per area.  However it has been very dry this year.   So severe weather in summer equals thunderstorms which equals rain.   So no severe weather means drought conditions??   Something like out of the frying pan into the fire...
