B – In this picture we can see a highway on a very foggy evening. It is also a dangerous type of weather for those who are on the road.
A – You are quite right, there are lot of accidents because of the thick fog as the drivers cannot see the way properly and cars crash into each other.

B – Yes, it is. Fortunately, here in Siberia, we have no tornadoes.
