El Paso has its share of floods, as we were reminded this past week. We also have severe sand/wind storms, as well as hail storms and the brewing drug wars right across the border. Oh, and, BTW...earthquakes do hit El Paso. There's a nice fault line running along the Franklins.

Sleep tight!

Weather and climate-wise, El Paso is about as good and safe as it gets. Even the floods, they really happen year after year, the same intersections get flooded, and you can easily avoid buying a house in an arroyo or below the level of the river and street. You can go up to the top of the mountain and see which subdivisions were built in arroyos, and avoid those downstream of them or probably check aerial maps.

Whatever that is going on across the border should be of some concern but most people here really don't think about it.

If you and your wife have jobs then you've solved your biggest problem. El Paso is unique and depending on where you're coming from can be a culture shock but relax and enjoy. El Paso is a very safe, laid-back city.
