Georgia has some tornados of course, but that's about it, even the coast rarely gets hurricanes.  We get some pretty serious thunderstorms at times.  This last front populated the news with a lot of trees down, several hitting homes, one hitting a condo building (not ours, though it got me thinking).  We have two large trees just outside our unit, which is nice, but they could come down and could come into our unit.  One is a tulip poplar.

Same with earthquakes.

But then there's mudslides and stuff. Drought sometimes. Maybe a post-tropical storm.

Tornados here are often spun off of hurricanes.

I've heard Florida has the most lightning strikes by a large margin

Texas can't hold a candle

We've been going to Anna Maria Island for 10 years.

I always thought we'd buy eventually but I'm kind of shifting to explore mode. We tried Aruba this winter and got a few more spots we want to see.

Five more years until the kids are gone so who knows how we'll feel at that time. Might be priced out of AMI by then.

Ideal scenario would be residence on the gulf side of Florida and a cabin in the Driftless, most likely Wisconsin side.
You can more bang for your buck if you head more South. AMI is not cheap by any stretch (at least a Mil for a fixer-upper), and you're sorta captive. Not as captive as Captiva, but still.

The other thing is that Sarasota is kinda like the "winter" line. It gets much colder up there than down here, even though it's only an hour away.

Lots of trees get hit here.

When my roof is done, I'm installing lightning rods.

Indeed, Florida is always winning.

Move to Florida, see the beautiful thunderstorms.

Pay no mind to Texas.

To be impacted by forest fires or mudslides, you have to live near trees or hills. 

Pfft. Like I've got that kind of money.

Drought isn't bad weather. I can't remember a single time I've heard a fellow SoCal resident on a nice warm sunny summer day say "oh, this is terrible--you know what would make this weather better? Rain."

Hell, if they had a little more drought, maybe Seattleites wouldn't be so gloomy...

Atlanta gets more rain that Seattle, quite a bit more, in inches.  It's raining now.

Of course, you have designs on Austin

I do. In-laws are in San Antonio, so being closer to them (while being in a major tech hub for my career) makes sense. 

And UT is one of the schools we're already expecting to visit with my son. While I'm not sure how likely we'd be to move while he was there if he attended UT (due to his younger siblings), it of course increases the likelihood that he'll stay in TX after college which would be another reason to move. 

But, I hear everyone's leaving California, so rents & house prices should start dropping like a rock any day now, which changes the calculus...
