Now, I lived in Orlando for a year, and Florida has a lot going for it.
But you only get three seasons, you basically never get to enjoy snow, and you get about five times more hurricanes than Texas gets. And you have no topography. I think the highest point in Florida is like 200 feet above sea level.
Amarillo, TX, may be flat as a board, but it is as flat as a board 1093 meters above sea level. Even if global warming is 100% real, even if the Earth warms 10ºF, most of Texas will survive.
This is Santa Elena canyon. Rio Grande in the middle, Texas on the right, Coahuila, MX on the left.
Just friendly ribbing, until it finally disintegrated in the washer I loved my RonJon surf t-shirt, and there is no rotating bar called 'ABC Country' in Texas like there was in Orlando, nor have I ever witnessed a space shuttle launch in Texas, and natural oil seeps under the Gulf don't produce tar balls on your beaches, but as a 1) a fan of interesting weather and 2) a fan of interesting weather that won't tear the roof off his house and cause a big insurance deductible, Texas is the better place.
