Wind is the weather component I hate most. It sucks for boating.

Yeah, pretty perfect. Our good weather is better than everyone else's good weather, and our bad weather is WAY better than bad weather in the rest of the country.

I know it's not weather, but that earthquake thing I would not like.

I'll take a hurricane with 5 days notice over an earthquake with no warning.

I always find it funny that to a large extent, people are most scared of extreme weather (or events like earthquakes) they don't know, and comfortable with the ones they know.

I.e. people here wouldn't want to live in the Midwest (tornadoes) or Florida (hurricanes), but have basically grown numb to the earthquake risk. Most Midwesterners say (like you) that they wouldn't want to live out here because of earthquakes or in Florida where you might have to evacuate for a week every couple of years for a hurricane, but are numb towards tornadoes because the likelihood of being hit by them individually is VERY low. People in Florida probably are scared of earthquakes and tornadoes but (like you) are numb to hurricanes because at least you can see them coming and prepare. 

What funny little monkeys we are...

Lots of tornadoes here too. Hurricanes also spawn them off the outer the edges. Happens a lot.

Did not know that, but of course it makes perfect sense as you mention it.

I wouldn't want to live in Florida due to the humidity--the hurricane thing is a lesser concern.

The humidity doesn't bother me. I mean, Chicago kinda sucked for that too.

Storm surge is spooky too. Kinda like Sunami's. We don't get the latter.

Bottom line is there are pluses and minuses wherever you live in this country.

Yeah, the humidity was something I hated in Chicago too lol. And with humidity comes mosquitoes, which I loathe

Admittedly you could make an argument that Florida winters are better than SoCal winters (ours are colder), but as a transplanted Midwesterner I don't mind the "cold" here, and IMHO the lack of humidity makes the summers better here.

California summers never get warm enough. Unless you're someplace like The Valley.
