Staying put.

Hurricane Florence is currently still many miles off the Carolina coast but expected to make landfall by Friday.  I've heard reports that it's a catagory 4 hurricane, although this evening a weather reporter said it may slow down to a catagory 2.  One report said there could be as much as 35 inches of rain.  
However, we're in a good situation here in Indiana with sunshine predicted.  
Some years ago when I was selling real estate, I worked with a lady moving with her family from California.  She insisted that the house they buy have a basement because she was terrified that tornadoes would be swooping down on them frequently.  She wasn't comforted when I told her that I have lived in Indiana all my life and never actually seen a tornado.  
Considering the hurricane on its way, the other flooding issues that have happened recently along the east and gulf coasts and the fires that continue to burn in California, (not to mention potential earth quakes) I think I'll stay right where I am.  
Yes, we have four seasons, with some snow in winter, but I think that's a fair price to pay for home stability.  Snow doesn't typically destroy homes.
Sooner or later the country will wake up to the fact that the midwest is actually the best place to live.  You heard it here first.
