I've considered N. AZ. Love it but it's not in my price range and I'd really like a lot more rain fall. I'd prefer more natural pasture/grazing for the horses.
I lived on OK for 11 years and grew up in CO. We'll probably move to OK. Not perfect but at least we can afford 40 acres, it has seasons, a little snow and pasture. Summers are still too hot but shorter and call me weird but I love the thunderstorms- except when a tornado takes out part one of my buildings.
Rain fall huh?
Most people would laugh if they heard we only get 7 inches of rain per year.
they wouldn't laugh if they were here the day we got it!
There is nothing like a real, good,Oklahoma storm, especially a if it's associated with a hurricane in the gulf. We got 14 inches of rain the night before our opening fox hunt one year, after a week of hard rains. It was pouring rain that day and we still hunted. One of the horses and several hounds got washed downstream crossing what was normally a shallow creek. It was a fantastic day!
I've had four tornadoes hit my property but only saw the Norman/Moore cat five tornado from about ten miles to the north of me, thank goodness. That tornado took a one mile swath across the state from south of OKC all the way up to Tulsa, looked like pictures of Hiroshima when we drove through the next day. That's the only bad part. Joplin got hammered this year and OK is having the worst summer ever.
But, I still really love those storms. These storms we have here are wimpy, even the big ones.
