<p>Many schools in the north have tunnels connecting buildings so weather should not be too big of a deal, although it would be quite a change.</p>

<p>Good to know that you havenāt seen a tornado. Have you seen floods and hurricanes?</p>

āDo you post from a concrete bunker? You realize that when (yes, āwhenā, not āifā) the ābig oneā hits California, it is going to kill more people there than all of the tornadoes in the US have killed in the last 10 years combined, right?ā</p>
<p>No, I donāt post from a concrete bunker. LOL. The modern buildings are much safer in California due to safer building codes than places with older buildings without the stronger building codes. Thereās a big difference. Also, earthquakes are not weather related. You canāt predict earthquakes, but you can somewhat predict weather. Unfortunately that weather related deaths usually come from bad weather conditions such as wet icy cold, flooding, or tornadoes every year. </p>

āI donāt have ātornado-phobiaā
Like I said, if kids from Cali just grow a pair this wouldnāt be a problem.
And really? Mild weather vs. brutal weather? BRUTAL?
You poor brainwashed guy.ā</p>
<p>Based on your comment. That would be a whole lot of people that are brainwashed then. When I said brutal, Iām referring to over-all bad weather conditions including cold, harsh, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and even overly hot and humid conditions. No one by choice wants to live in discomfort. You can call us tornado-phobia, cold-phobia, blizzard-phobia, or whatever you want to call it. It is what it is, you canāt argue why people hate bad weather. Itās like arguing why people donāt want to live in the Arctic or Antarctic. </p>
<p>Hereās an older thread relating to the topic of weather for those of you who have issues about how others may feel. Hope this helps.

<p>Good to know that you havenāt been swept away by a tsunami. Have you seen race riots and firestorms?</p>
<p>The point is, worrying about tornadoes is stupid. They just donāt happen all too frequently. Dictating your college choice on whether or not a tornado could strike there is about as ludicrous as dictating it on where an asteroid could potentially hit. </p>

<p>Japan has some of the toughest building codes in the world. Look what happened to them this year.</p>

<p>Race riots are cause by people and not weather related. Itās like a war caused by people and not weather related. As I had said, earthquakes are not weather related and tsunami is caused by earthquakes. As I had also said, you can put out a fire, but you canāt put out tornadoes, or hurricanes, or snow blizzard.</p>

<p>I can say the same about tornadoes. Look at what happened this year at Joplin, Missouri. My point is, people have a choice to pick where they want to attend college based on the kind of weather where they would be the most comfortable with. Itās the same why most people wouldnāt want to move to live in the Arctic or the Antarctic. Itās not as stupid as you may think.</p>
<p>Due to hurricanes, Florida also has pretty strong building codes. However, unless you live in south Florida, Mississippi or Louisiana you will not really experience a true hurricane. Living in Tampa, Iāve only seen one real hurricane in my life; it didnāt even knock out the electricity in my house. If you live inland, you will not experience the true force of a hurricane due to it having dramatic loss of momentum upon landfall.</p>
<p>
Constant, extreme, subzero temperatures are not equatable with a slim-to-none chance that you will ever experience a tornado. Cuse is right: thatās just downright stupid. Your phobia, by definition, is irrational.</p>
<p>Yeah OCELITE, you constantly pushing for Chapman doesnāt even seen crazy anymore now that weāve uncovered this fear of weather you have.</p>
<p>What is this Chapman University? I have never heard of it.</p>
<p>Oh and California is just a garbage state to live in. High taxes, entitlement system, and still a bankrupt government. Not to mention the home prices are out of this world and living costs.</p>
<p>No wonder droves of people are emigrated out to the low tax states such as Texas.</p>
<p>The weather is great though.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Can you āput outā an earthquake or tsunami? Why on earth would anyone want to go to school at a place that is just waiting for the ābig oneā to come and level every building?</p>
<p>Haha, god, this weather discussion is hilarious. Most of the extreme conditions you guys are describing like hurricanes in Michigan and earth quakes in California are rare enough in real life that they would be total anomalies to students.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Exactly. Iām just trying to use OCELITEās paranoia logic against him (or her) so heāll see how ridiculous it really is.</p>

<p>Keep in mind that a tornado is only one of the elements in bad weather conditions. Donāt forget about the hurricanes, the floods, the winds, extreme hot and humid, extreme cold, wet and snow are also elements in bad weather conditions. While it may or may not affects where you live, those are not the conditions people generally desire the most as in good weather. I was only using the Arctic as an example of how some of us would feel if we move from warmer climate to a colder climate, because we will feel extremely uncomfortable. This is how I would feel if I move from the west to the east during certain time of the year. As I had said before, Iāve traveled to the different regions and have experienced the different kinds of conditions, and was very uncomfortable. I would suspect that would be uncomfortable for those people who would move from very cold climate to very hot climate such as a hot desert. I wouldnāt call that a phobia or irrational. I am being honest.</p>

<p>You guys are way off topic. As I had said before, our buildings have stronger building codes to with stand a specific magnitude. We donāt have big earthquakes every year like the tornadoes do in the Tornado Alley. LoL.</p>
<p>Quote:
āYeah OCELITE, you constantly pushing for Chapman doesnāt even seen crazy anymore now that weāve uncovered this fear of weather you have.ā</p>
<p>Give it up PurpleDuckMan! You guys have taken the topic way out of context. OP was talking about GOOD WEATHER! Itās been repeated several times already! Again, itās about GOOD WEATHER! Not about riots, or government, or anything else that is non weather related. You canāt deny good weather bad weather. California has storms too, but just not the kinds that you get in the east. Our weather is generally drier and milder than the east. Itās funny that you guys are using riots or earthquakes or other issues as an excuse to change the topic. People have choices where they want to live, if they donāt like cold weather, then they go to places with warmer weather. If they donāt like hot and humid weather, then they go to a place with milder conditions. Whether or not we like it hot or cold or in between, itās not going to change the earthās weather patterns. Everyone has a right to live where theyāre most comfortable with. You enjoy the East Coast weather, then youāve picked what fits you. I enjoy the West Coast weather, then Iāve picked what fits me. I was suggesting California schools based on weather and location, itās not about Chapman, or USC, or Stanford, or Berkeley, or Caltech, etc. I was giving the different options and the pros and cons based on what I know about those schools and their locations. If the OP wanted cold weather, then I would have suggested East Coast schools and so on. A bit of a difference than you pushing for Michigan and D1 football while the OP had requested for good weather as well.</p>
<p>university of florida- best all around</p>
<p>I give up Orange County Elite</p>
<p>You win.</p>
<p>D3 > D1 in all aspects</p>
<p>Michigan has ābrutalā weather</p>
<p>If you watch D1 football youāll be killed by a tornado</p>
<p>And you DONāT add negatively to the Californian stereotype.</p>
<p>There are some people on here who boost their individual schools so hard. Just because you go to a school does not make it the best or most complete. As much as I dislike Stanford, Iām not sure how an informed person could say that Michigan is a more complete university. As for my own college, I donāt care whether people like Wharton. 99% of the time itās a moot point because they couldnāt have gotten in regardless.</p>
<p>Iāve lived in a cold weather state for a very long time. I will never go back unless the reason is ridiculously good, and only the Ivy League states would garner that reason, everywhere else that gets cold, sucks and donāt have any good reasons to go live there. Most people have to because they really donāt have any other choice, so they live with it. Kind of like when you fail at reaching your dreams.</p>
<p>^youāre too much</p>
<p>So if you live in the North or East, itās because you failed at reaching ur dreamsā¦</p>
<p>Got it</p>
<p>Lmao @ lonesoul.</p>
<p>Attention America: If your dreams fail you will be moved north/northeast.</p>
<p>
Good oneā¦?</p>
<p>@lonesoul No one has any reason to be somewhere cold? So Hollywood is the only place where dreams are made? This country was founded in the snow, take a lap around Wall Street, big guy.</p>
<p>Someone tell me again, how Texas is not the clear number 1 favorite. Its really the party hard, stuy hard, play hard capital combined with good weather.</p>
