    I'm in Southeast TX and it's been beautiful here all day. But, I do know how the weather changes so much here! I call it bipolar weather. :)

    omg! i do too!! it was so pretty yesterday here in dallas and today omg tornado warnings, 18 wheelers flying around like they are paper!!

    I actually dont mind the rain i just hate tornadoes!!

    I'm in Houston. Yesterday, we had a totally unexpected torrential downpour. Today - gorgeous. Though, it is already getting too hot and humid for my tastes... even though I have lived here my whole life!!

    I love it during winter and spring! perfect temperatures sunny and flirty one day and then the day after a day like today! I was stuck at work during the middle of a tornado party!!!

    any suggestions on non-volitile states i can move to??

    Phoenix is about as non volatile as it gets. no hurricanes, tornados etc... it hardly even rains...sure its hot in the summer for a few months but its dry and much easier to handle than 95 with high humidity. and the rest of the year its perfect.

    I have lived in Dallas...near perfect except for those naders! I live in Houston now...too humid!!! And we did have a tornado touch down near my house in January. I lived in Oregon for 37 years. Don't know if I could do that much rain ever again...but summer is a perfect 83 degrees with LOW humidity! They do get earthquakes there, too. Just not as often as CA...

    Hawaii!!! :) we only get hit by hurricanes once every so many years and it's only the Big Island and Kauai that really gets it bad... I mean I think every place has something we have to be ready for!

    I LOVE it here...except for days like today. Spent the entire afternoon watching the skys, looking for tornados, dodging hail, calling family and friends to make sure everyone is ok. THAT gets a little nerve-racking. Thankfully everyone I know is ok.

    I did the exact samething!!! everyone was ok and i was able to communicate with them but i dnt get off until 5 today and i am pretty sure my poor pup is shaking in his crate! =(

    Spring?????? Winter??????

    I lived in TX for 13 years. When I first got there in 88/89 there was snow.....and then every year after it got less and less and less, so the when I left in 2000 there was like one day of mildly cool weather. Spring was about the same, a little bit of tolerable weather then BAM Hot Hot Hot Hot. It was San Antonio though, a little closer than some to border. Tornadoes seem to be occuring in many places that haven't really had a history of them so in reality no where is safe from the weather nowadys.

    There are none...

    Northeast: blizzards, ice storms & Noreasters

    South: hurricanes; suffocating humidity

    Midwest: tornadoes; blistering heat

    North: blizzards, double-digit negative degree temps

    West: fires, mudslides, blizzards, earthquakes (don't know how I could've forgotten those)

    Northwest: rain...rain...rain...more rain...oh & rain...

    Good luck...
    You missed southwest. The only thing we have here is blistering heat in the summer and the occasional flooding issue when we get too much rain all at once. Otherwise there are no earthquakes, winter storms, no tornados and very little humidity.

    Come join us here in the TRUE sunshine state of Arizona.

    Mississippi.... two seasons.... hot and hotter. Tornados, rain, and heat.

    We used to have ice storms, but that was a long time ago. We'll get a cold spurt in the 'winter' that lasts two days or so.

    HOT :devil: :explode:

    I feel ya on this one. I hate Texas! And it's solely due to the horrible weather we have. Born & raised here and can't wait to escape. Both kids are grown & almost out of the house and I thought I would be able to move far, far away to parts unknown this October when my lease is up. But last July my mother had a triple bypass, then fell and broke her hip & arm a few months later. Now I feel like I need to stick around at least another couple of years in case she needs me. In the meantime, I continue to dream of New Zealand. Or Oregon. I could do Oregon.
