I saw your other post 'looking for a small town with church'.... here's what I posted there...
"My friend's uncle is the pastor of a Bible church in Dale Indiana... I have been trying to find a job in or near there (maybe live in Santa Claus) for a year now. I just haven't found the right job yet... He is a great pastor and teacher."

And what questions would those be? Unfortunately, tornados are a fact of life here. They don't happen very often, at least I don't think so. Went through one when I was 12 years old and still get spooked if the wind "makes that sound".
Get a house with a basement and invest in a weather radio.

What questions about tornadoes?
I've heard about several around here, but only seen two. Neither of them touched down. |

It's not the tornados you gotta worry about, it's that whole 6 months+ of grey weather. But New England is about the same so you should adjust fine. 
You should post a little more about what your looking for in a place to call home. Liberal area? Conservative area? What type of religion (if any) do you want to be around? What type of schooling/colleges? You like snow (northern)? If you give more details people can probably give you better more accurate advice. Good luck. |

Rising Sun Indiana. Small town 35 minutes from downtown Cinci Ohio. Retains its small town persona even though a major company, The Grand Victoria Casino, moved in in 1996. Rivertown community with several small farm based burgs surrounding. It is beautiful all 4 seasons.

Lots of small towns and attitudes that go with them.
The real question from me to you is why are you leaving New England?

Rising Sun is very nice. I hear that Aurora is also becoming a little more populated (the downtown area).. the last time I was in I read something about some condo's going in downtown.. so it may be a good time to buy there..
Lawrenceburg is another nice big small town.. it's not huge, but it's nice.
Or how about Madison? It's a nice place.. right on the river.. near Louisville, KY. |
