Chapter 9: South Atlantic
The South Atlantic Region is made up of the follow states: Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. The South Atlantic is known for its hot, humid, rainy summers and mild winters in which temperature rarely ever drop below freezing. 50 inches of rain average in this region. Los Angeles doesn't see the same type of temperatures in the colder season, yet the summer temperatures for both regions can see triple digits. Another difference is that theses states tend to have hurricane activity cycle through naturally. Since 1995, activity has increased.

The culture in both of these regions is drastically different too. In Los Angeles, baseball and basketball are hot commodities. With the Dodgers, Lakers, and Clippers playing, you will always be watching one of them. In the South Atlantic regions, NASCAR (The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) is the sport to watch. Not to many people like NASCAR because it is slow and boring. Who wants to watch cars go 200 miles an hour going in a circle 200 times. Rednecks, a term from the south, can be seen anywhere in the United States, but mostly reside from the south. Rednecks are the kind of people who love NASCAR. They love the glorified cars, noise, and alcohol. In Los Angeles, the culture is different. They like faced paced, down to the wire action. Many also go to certain events for the recognition. There are some true fans (like myself), who go to the game or event to cheer for what is really happening. Others, unfortunately, just want to Instagram themselves to be show that they were at the event. In both regions, nonetheless, passion for specific commodities in that regions can be seen.
