I keep thinking, "I should move out of Florida." You know, with all the hurricanes, heat, conservativesz, etc, but then again, the one guarantee about being here is the average temperature is not going to drop precipitously plunging local agriculture into an eternal winter. Great!
Seriously though, if you are not there for retirement, you should move out of Florida. No need to rush it, but within the next 10 years would be probably good. And keep in mind, settling somewhere else takes time as well.
Where would you judge is the most ecologically stable and sustainable area in North America?
Unironically somewhere in the north eastern Midwest. Either just south or north of the great lakes. Our winters are vastly more mild than they were when I moved here 10 years ago and there's tons of fresh water and arable land. We aren't immune to heat waves and wacky growing season changes, but we don't get the drought and wildfires they do out west or south, nor any of the extreme storms from the Atlantic.
Biggest threat is flooding, but river flooding is more easily mitigated than other extreme weather. My ass is staying in the boring part of the continent.
Tornados sure have been picking up here though
You're welcome to take a left into Central where the tornados spawn mini tornados and like following you around, though only after they've made the decision to stay small and scary-cute or grow to such a size as to make you wholly uncertain whether it's heading your way or not.
No thank you, central IL might as well be another state lol
Firstly, love the username.
Secondly: Yep, I grew up in the PNW, am disabled now, and WA and OR are just far more expensive than say Wisconsin or Minnesota.
Weather around there seems to be the closest analogue I can find to Seattle. PNW weather is getting more extreme and you say Great Lakes region is getting more mild, so, sounds good to me!
