Yeah, the older I get, and the more time I spend in Florida, I am done. My wife is attached to her family, and does not want to move. I am sick of the depressing weather, the high taxes, and no return on the tax dollars spent. Ohio is now the 8th highest tax in the country, and what are we getting in return for it?

Not that Ohio is any oasis, butI hope you like humidity! Also, find the highest elevation for your housing and pay flood insurance.
Friends of ours down there during Harvey pretty much lost it all.

I go down about every 6 to 8 weeks. I do not mind the summers at all. Honestly when I was down last summer, it was cooler there than it was here. I will trade 3 months of hot for the 5 months of gray sky and shitty weather here. I hate not seeing the sun for weeks it seems like.
I am far from retirement, so best I can do is spending my 50 to 60 days a year down there for now.

You are correct, that is a huge worry of ours since that area seems extremely flood prone.. I don’t mind heat or humidity.. I prefer over the cold that hurts every joint and bone in my body. Went down there for fire school for a week and loved every minute.

I lived on Isle of Palms SC and had to deal with one Hurricane (Irene) that actually bounced off the coast and went up to OBX and Virginia Beach. Still had some flooding and high winds. The house I lived in had been rebuilt as an elevated home because the original dwelling was wiped out by Hugo as most of the SC coast was.
You can keep the suffocating humidity, the poisonous snakes, gators and never dying bugs for yourself. Homeowners and flood insurance was outrageous too. Great place to vacation, not living there again.

All valid perspectives and reasons Kentucky was our answer.
We did live in Denton, TX for a while and I liked that climate. My wife is from Houston and it is an amazing area - job opportunities, food, and reasonably affordable - traffic and humidity are tough. I spend a couple of months a year in Houston for work. I can't imagine trying to pay the costs of living on the west coast.
Kentucky downside, can't solve most murders: no dental records and everyone shares the same DNA.

Rough River Lake
We love KY lakes, there are so many nice ones. Laurel Lake is my favorite.
Kinda make me anxious for summer and all those great future Jet Ski posts.
Laurel
Cumberland
Dale Hollow
Lake Fontana - not KY but a super lake
Cave Run Lake
Ohio River
Norris Lake - Tennessee but close
