yeah well, Charlotte flooded last week when two storms converged on each other there. We're certainly not immune to bad weather, even in-land. We still have to secure outdoor furniture occasionally And in winter, Charlotte has been known to sometimes get more snow than we do here in the foothills. Last year we got none, Charlotte got a couple of feet, total all season. 8 inches of it fell in one storm. Do you remember how to drive in snow?

But, the beach is not that far away if you move to Raleigh. Only 4 hours to Kitty Hawk. Not quite 2 hours to Wilmington. Quite a bit further if you move to Charlotte.

There was somewhere on the internet a salary rate comparisson, but I can't find it now. I remember just being able to type in my occupation, and then click a state to see how much the average pay was. Can't find it now. I do recall that North Carolina was lower salaries than a lot of places. And the further away from whatever NC calls a "big city" the lower the pay.

Considering not a single city in NC has a population over 700,000, I find it hard to call any of them "big".

Wikipedia can find you lots of info tho for cost of living and average household income.

and btw, Charlotte was voted one of the 10 most boring cities in the country not long ago.
