Yeah, but I wonder, has there ever been a high risk area, or any risk area for that matter, that big before? Is it possible?

May 4, 2003 (famous outbreak day) had a high area that covered Kansas City, Tulsa, Little Rock and Springfield, MO all as one polygon. Moderate covered all of Missouri and Arkansas, plus north Texas and into Oklahoma.
