I've been looking for somewhere to move for a while now. So far narrowed it down to Tennessee or Texas, but in my research, I found out Oklahoma has a bunch of mountains in the eastern half of the state. Since I'm a sucker for mountain views, I've decided to look into it a bit more. I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty much ignorant about Oklahoma. All I know is it has the second highest population of Indians, it's super religious (a big plus), and there's lots of modern cowboys and tornados.
So figured I'd ask some fellow patriots what it's like and see if it's a nice place to live. From what research I've done so far, it LOOKS freaking beautiful when you're in the mountainous parts.
I agree. Tornadoes suck, but we seem to have really good alert systems. Just make sure to have proper shelter and use it. We have a large safe room (16x24) that has a cellar underneath it. I turned the safe room into my man cave and installed a over the air antennae so we can watch the local weather during storms. The cellar has electricity and battery back up, television, Nintendo Wii, movies, and an all in one computer that acts as a hot spot. Our router has a battery backup on a trickle charger. Normally I sit at the bar and have a few drinks while the kiddos go down and play games or watch a movie. The main thing it not to panic and just accept that it happens. Now days they are happening world wide, so I'd expect it to continue until we quit pissing off the God who created us.
