Mark,

I should never argue with a Webbie.

You're right, Pittsburg, Oklahoma City, Omaha and Nashville are (in
order of high altitude) up to 200 feet higher than Atlanta (1,086 feet
above sea level).

Nashville, I can understand--it's in the middle of the Smoky Mountains,
but the altitude of Oklahoma City and Omaha--plains states--is
surprising. Pittsburgh is probably located closer to the Appalachians
than I had thought.
