Much as I loved driving through northwestern Oklahoma, I don't think I would ever want to live there or any other state east of the Rockies. Between tornado's and blizzards I wouldn't know whether to dig a bomb shelter or just insulate the hell out of every thing. As for tornado's; to me it would be like being afloat in the middle of the South China sea, you know the sharks are there, you just don't know when they are going to get you.

There are blizzards in California. Maybe not where you are, but they do occur. Tornadoes have occurred in every single state, as well. It’s a matter of frequency and severity. Our tornadoes are very seldom as large or as lengthy as midwestern ones. A true blizzard is practically an unheard-of thing here. Earthquakes, we’re at moderate risk due to proximity to Charleston, but I’ve experienced nothing stronger than a tremor in my lifetime.

To me, it would be nerve-wracking to live in a place where there was a severe risk of any of these. It’s possible to get any of them here but it’s not a severe risk. Worst thing that has ever happened to me was sleeping through the roof being blown off my house by Hurricane Hugo. Sounds like that sort of thing would wake you up, but the wind howling kind of masked it, I guess.
