America the Beautiful (United States of America #1)

Oklahoma

France was running for his life, running from the atrocity that was made completely from air. It was picking up everything in its path; houses, animals, cars, trucks, and even people. The blonde-haired nation was literally in awe at this sight, because that force of nature was picking up everything like they were nothing more than toys, including trucks that clearly weighed tons. 

Right now, France was desperately trying to find some form of shelter, which wasn't easy because no one would allow him into their homes, though he couldn't blame them. He was a stranger after all, and he didn't know shit of how to survive a tornado!

"Hey!" someone called, and France turned to see a boy of Native American decent come over to him. He was a striking boy in appearance, with his long, braided black hair, deep tan skin, muscular body, and sharp brown eyes. France felt he should know the boy, but he couldn't recall him from anywhere.

However, he was driven from his thoughts when the boy dragged him to a trench and ordered, "Get to the ground and don't you dare think of looking up. Cover your head too!"

France later learned that, when in a tornado situation and if you can't find shelter, the best thing to do is to find shelter from the ground.

Though, that was only a dream, a dream that felt too real.

The Louisiana Purchase also brought forth the Oklahoma Territory, which was divided with the Indian Territory in 1890, and this lead to America's youngest son, Ethan, having the appearance of a Native American.

He was a very tough and strong fellow, don't misunderstand, because of the fact that he's a part of tornado alley like many of the Midwest states. This was also why he dedicated himself to engineering, building himself and his family a large cellar near their homes, including his. Though, that doesn't mean he doesn't get physically ill or even injured from the tornadoes that do strike.

"Aw God...!" Ethan growled out when his mother and a few of his siblings were taking shelter from a EF3 tornado. Of course, because of how powerful this force of nature was at this moment, it was making Ethan feel more nauseous than usual.

"You do understand that that was why you built these things to begin with, right?" Nevada asked with a snap. "It's already cramped in here as it is!" He never got tornadoes often, but even still, the threat at his place wasn't always apparent. Oklahoma? Different story altogether.

Ethan glared at him. "Go screw yourself!"

"Boys, enough!" America demanded, receiving a death-like silence from both boys. "Ethan, I know you're not feeling well at the moment, and in fact neither am I right now, but now's not the time, and Zayn, you don't need to encourage this here. So for the love of Heaven stay silent until this is over!"

Yeah, Nevada's other half was out, and he didn't like being here. America didn't care if he liked it or not, but she wasn't going to tolerate hearing him complain, and neither would Ethan.

Now, Ethan was normally laid-back and open-minded, especially with the tornadoes, but even he has limits to his patience.

However, Ethan also works as an instructor of tornado survival and even teaching his students how tornadoes are formed, how to survive them, and the best kinds of cover when there is a tornado. That was, if the girls and a few of the boys weren't so focused on his looks, but he was more than happy to set them in their places in ways America didn't want to know, but at least they were effective.

So, if she and the other nations ever thought of having a meeting in tornado alley and a tornado hits, she hoped they knew of what they were supposed to do, even if tornadoes didn't occur in their nations.

If she thought about it, it would be both hilarious and scary to watch their reactions.
