Seems like Sioux City-Omaha-Lincoln-Des Moines wouldn't be bad options either, climate-wise. Just don't live too close to the Platte or Missouri rivers when springtime floods jump the levees.

Most trees on the planet aren't going to survive the next 40 years. So we can probably expect some serious rip roaring fires and a fuckton more smoke with all the oncoming dead wood.

I still remember a maddening argument in D&D like a decade ago where there's this enormous freshwater aquifer in the middle of the country and an oil spill above it could ruin it all and some oil industry dude was arguing it's totally fine to build more pipelines over it and everyone who opposes it is an idiot who doesn't understand the energy sector.

that sounds like d&d ca. 2021 as well

UPDATE: Woman Accused of Starting Fawn Fire Was Attempting To Boil Bear Urine to Drink



"Souverneva had been hiking to Canada on September 22 and was seen in the Mountain Gate community in Northern California, according to a narrative written by a Cal Fire officer. She was told she couldn’t be on the property by quarry employees, but kept walking.

She then became thirsty and found a puddle of water in a dry creek bed, but the water allegedly had bear urine in it so she tried to filter the water with a tea bag, the officer said.

“She said that didn’t work so she attempted to make a fire to boil the water. She stated it was too wet for the fire to start. She said she drank the water anyway and then continued walking uphill from the creek bed,” the complaint read.

Souverneva got stuck in brush and called the fire department, the complaint read. She was evaluated for dehydration and then questioned by Cal Fire authorities when she allegedly told them she tried to light a fire. Souverneva was taken into custody."

Plants too. Last year I lost the first two plantings of squash and melons - first one to the lingering cold, second to the heat dome. This year I'm prepared. Just got back inside from erecting shade cloth over the beds. Shade cloth is like a tarp only there's holes in it to allow 20% of the sunlight to filter in.

edit: Don't have enough shade cloth to protect the tomatoes. If they go into heat stress I will be rigging an actual tarp over them.

That was me last summer from late June through August - watching the thermometers and running around closing all the windows when Tinside = Toutside. Kept the nights tolerable but definitely not frosty.

my tomatoes and cucumbers have barely begun to flower and they've been in the ground since mid-may. sucks.
