I'm 63 and retired and homeless but not for lack of money. I sold everything I own, pack my Jeep and dog and I have no idea where to go. Maybe Grand Island, because I don't like hot or humid weather, how does the humidity compare with OKC? I like storms and I might be able to buy a house there. Any suggestions? I'm in HOT AZ now because my ex-wife is helping me. I just put 3,500 miles going to Spokane from OKC and then panic and left.

Are you choosing a place based on employment(ie looking for a job) or just want to go somewhere different? If for jobs, I would really recommend Columbus, NE...about an hour and a half away. There's tons of jobs and booming industry here. Grand Island wouldn't be a bad choice but cities like Columbus, Norfolk have more jobs.

Nebraska's humidity can go both ways. The further west you go, the more dry air and less precipitation you'll encounter. The further east gets the most precipitation and humidity but it's not really that humid here. It sounds like you're in really dry heat places like OKC and Arizona...south eastern Nebraska is more moderate temperatures.

Actually, I think you'll be surprised by the humidity level in south-central Nebraska, it can get quite high. I grew up 20 minutes from GI and remember some pretty humid days -- not Florida-like heat/humidity, but still pretty hot and muggy. Keep in mind, during the summer months, farmers are pumping water onto their fields and into the air pretty much 24-7, so I'm sure that doesn't help.

Good luck to you on your move.

I lived in Grand Island for a couple years. They get very cool storms...and that's about it. Humidity is typical for Nebraska. That is, pretty humid.
