21. And there shouldn't be one.

As Snopes pointed out, the whole e-mail is a fiction. There was no North Dakota storm (or at least this e-mail doesn't refer to any real North Dakota storm). The whole thing was concocted out of pure air, as a means of implying "White Midwesterner from the North = tough, self-reliant and good; Poor black from the South = lazy, government-dependent and bad."

Sheesh.
