I'm from California (Santa Barbara and Santa Rosa, over 30 years between the two) and I absolutely LOVE Austin's weather because we HAVE weather. California bores me with its monotony.

On the other hand, to most people California has a paradise climate and Texas is Hell. So... like Jenbar said, it just depends on your personal preferences.

As for twisters, your odds of having a problem with one are vastly lower than the odds that you'll have to deal with an earthquake, fire, or mudslide in California. Every place has it's natural disasters. Choose the ones that scare you least, it doesn't matter because your choice won't be rational.

No place on earth is safe 100% of the time. Then again, I wouldn't live anywhere east of the Rockies in a trailer or a shoddy house. We get some serious thunderstorms (which I happen to LOVE) with winds that can take your roof off if you're living in a piece of junk that doesn't deserve the label "home."
