San Diego doesn't rest on the fault line, so earthquakes aren't big here. Nobody has been killed or hurt by them. Wildfires from the drought are more of a danger.
I lived in nearby Norman for college, and I went there to study meteorology. If you're into weather and have good AC, heating, and maybe a storm shelter, it's OKC.
Lived in SD out of college a few years, and it's nice in a completely different way. But weather is not so exciting, though as one ages, maybe mild is better?
I don't understand all the comments about OKC's "cold" winters. Sure they can have a cold spell or 2 every winter that can potentially be sub-zero but they can just as easily be in the 70s in January as well.
Definitely. We had some cold, cloudy days this past winter, but also a number of warm sunny days. Granted, January and especially February were warmer than normal, but still. Also, I don't see what's so bad about days in the 50s. It's not that cold, especially with a relatively high sun angle. Walking around campus at night can be cold without a jacket, however.

I am currently going to college in Norman to study meteorology as well.
Nebraska and South Dakota are probably my ideal continental climates (Kansas is great but like OK, winters are not reliable.. North Dakota is excellent in the winter and can be great in the summer, but it's shoulder seasons are too cold). You can call South Dakota and Nebraska continental climates on steroids. Lol
I would say so because northern Illinois is influenced by Lake Michigan which moderates the climate. Central Illinois is very continental. Southern Illinois has milder winters
