What is the weather like in certain states like Georgia and the Carolinas?

I want to move but I don't know what the weather is like in other states. I'm terrified of tornados and I don't want to live any where near wherever they happen. I don't want to live in a flood state either. Is there a free website that can tell me what the weather is like in certain states?

Unfortuanly, any state in America is proned to severe flooding espeically if you live on the Gulf Coast of Eastern Seaboard where tropical weather systems occur. The Carolinas are notorious for hurricanes, and hurricanes usually spawn tornados. Most of the Carolinas dont suffer greatly from hurricanes, its mostly an issue with 50 miles or so from the coast. Other than hurricanes, the Carolinas are a great place to live as far as weather is concerned. They have cool winters, occasoinally a snowstorm or two and ice during a normal winter. Same is true for Georgia too. Spring time in these areas arrives early compared to most other states in the US. By March 60s and 70s are common. Summers are very warm and very humid. If you dont like humidity, dont move to the Southeast. The Carolinas and Gerogia are under a maratime tropical airmass for most of the year, which means the air has a high moisture content. Humidity starts becoming a factor in this region around May and can get very uncomfortable in June, July, August, and even September. The chance for tornados in GA and Carolinas are relativly low compared to the Plain States such as Kansas, Oklamhoma, and Nebreska to mention a few. Bottom line for this region is that it could get cold and snow could happen, but its not the unbearable cold you get up North and winter is alot shorter in duration as far as temperature are concerned.

Be sure to look for average High and Low Temperature Table and Precipiation tables for each month before moving to an area.
