I can't name just one state...but I wouldn't like to live where it's too hot and humid....don't like humitity at all. I wouldn't like someplace that has no mountains or tall evergreen trees, lakes and rivers aplenty. The Dakotas, Minnesota...those northern middle states are too severe in winter for my liking. (This is enough where I live, but it's not that severe generally) I would like to be closer to the Pacific ocean...well, not the open ocean, but Puget Sound specifically. (where I plan to move when I sell this place). But all that is probably due to what I'm use to.
I think those mid west states are beautiful in their own way....that land where you can see forever and waving fields of grain. But I think it wouldn't be as interesting as the mountainous states, so I'd probably get tired of that look after a time. And those tornados would freak me out. I'm use to earth quakes, having lived in the Seattle area for so long and it's not usually a big deal....usually. LOL.
I have lived on the east coast and although beautiful in so many ways and their history, more asthetic archetecture...those fall leaves....gorgeous...there's that darn heat/humidity of summer.
I might be able to tolerate the southwest because it's so dry. But hot is hot and in summer, it might be a bit much. But I do love the culture and scenery to visit.
So, I guess...once a pacific northwest girl, always a pacific northwest girl.
As far as natural disasters, everyone pretty much has to take his/her pick. Here in north Idaho, the only kind of natural disaster that happens sometimes is forest fires. There have actually been a couple of little tornados, surprisingly. Hurricanes and tornados would be a bit much for me. And earthquakes, well....so far I've made it through several. But there will be that big one one of these days. That San Andreas fault goes right outside my sister's back yard. She's right on Puget Sound...on the water and after one earthquake a few years ago, those geologist seismologist people were out measuring something behind her house. So, I guess that could be scary one day.
