tired of bad weather. (Denver, Boulder: 2013, crime, home)

It's very dry, which isn't everyone's cup of tea, and it's not a big-city metropolis, but El Paso is relatively safe from a lot of the worst that mother nature has to offer. It's sunny/warm-to-hot much of the time and isn't as prone to tornadoes as other Texas metros, is far enough away from an ocean to not to have to worry about hurricanes, and is not as seismically active and many other cities. It's on this list of 10 safest cities in terms of natural disasters:

The 10 Cities Most Safe From Natural Disasters - US News

Of the 10 cities on the list, six gets lots of snow and three (all in Arizona) are oven-hot in the summer. In terms of weather, El Paso is probably the best. I would say Colorado Springs is probably next.

wow you've been the nicest person to answer my question thank you very much I'm not looking for perfect weather i don't think anyone understood what i was saying i don't like heat which is why i was looking in maine i like having 4 seasons and i just didn't want to live where i only have severe weather lol i never knew people could be so mean i always heard people in denver were really friendly but now i know better. but it's okay it's probably just there way i did however finally get some really great responses from maine so i think I'll look at some houses on a acre or two up there thank you for your kindness and answers i appreciate it alot😆

Shouldn't you have mentioned the threat of the hispanic gangs? I doubt that she'd go for that.

San Diego is a ridiculous recommendation. I doubt that she has 800,000 to put down on a house. And, many school districts in San Diego SUCK and have gang problems.

I'd recommend one of the better suburbs of Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh, or Dallas.

lol thank you DougStark i don't want to live by gangs and yes i can afford san diego. money is not a problem those places you named are nice but it gets just too hot there but maybe you can help me as to what I'm lookin for which is a place that the weather isn't dangerous all the time. every state has severe weather, oklahoma just gets it more than most or it seems that way to me. i was told denver weather was bad but i thought i would ask the locals i don't know why people think hot weather is good but not to me i like cold weather which is why i started my search in maine do you know of a state that has all four seasons and doesn't have severe weather all the time? i will keep looking for a place in maine but if you know of somewhere not too far away from oklahoma where my family is please let me know thank you

Well That about sums it up. Looks like you are moving to Wyoming

You might try Lincoln, NE.

It is definitely more humid, but it is a great college town with a decent amount of things to do. There is also a decent amount of diversity. If you like a bigger city, then maybe Omaha, but it is a little rougher.

Madison, WI, is a great city. It is colder in the winter, but also colder in the summer.

Boise, ID, has weather very similar to Denver's, and Spokane, WA, is cooler in the summer.

lol!

History nerd, the reason those events don't happen in Wyoming is because the grand total of personal property in the state is barely a billion dollars. Yes, I'm engaging in hyperbole as well, but a significant factor will be the lack of valuable property.

Leaven,

Based on your stated criteria (like wanting temperatures below 70) you may find Spokane, WA to be ideal. The winters are a bit too cool for me, but if cooler summers are your weather priority, then Spokane rocks.
