It has had a few. There was one 2 years ago that ripped through an area south of Minto. Plow winds and heavy hail storms are much more common.

Oh ya, down that area is Tornado central for Manitoba. The second, updated map shows it up in the Dauphin/The Pas area. Definitely not your typical Manitoba tornado country. But the areas in the south, south of Highway 1 are for sure prime tornado area. Last year there was a tornado that was on the ground for 2-3 hours and snaked its way in between towns. One farm was damaged, but that was about it. Got lucky. It was right in that area.

I believe the couple that own it are a radiologist and an owner of a consulting firm.

Thus proving that radiologists are overpaid. Shed no tears for Radiology Associates

Or maybe the consultant partner paid for it? Or maybe the radiologist has been working for 35 years and has saved enough? Don't judge people without any information, man.

No, I'm pretty sure it's safe to assume the radiologist making $800,000/year is one one who paid.

I'm not sure why everyone is getting huffy about a mild comment about the (well-known) fact that radiologists are overpaid.

I guess it depends on how you would classify overpaid. They serve a function that saves lives, so that makes it important. Because of its importance, it is hard to train to become one (since the standards are so high). Because of this the cost of training is high. Because of the high cost to train, there is a scarce supply of those able to train. Because of this, the demand outstrips supply, which means they are paid more to entice them to train and fill the job.

If you cut that pay from $800,000 to $100,000 for example, you might find no one will do the job if the cost to become one remains the same, just the same as no one would be a garbage collector if they were paid minimum wage and had to go to school for 8 years.

Please note I did not say that doctors are overpaid, I said that radiologists are overpaid. Go talk to some other doctors about how much radiologists make and you'll get a much angrier response then you're getting from me.

Can you provide a link to support your assumption on wage?
