Texas native here...the Hill Country is quite nice, but they have had millions of people move there from California in the past ten years, and the traffic and house prices reflect that. The Hill country in general, has decent weather, but San Antonio is crackling hot in the summer, and they do get tornadoes in the spring and summer. But they are generally safe from hurricanes - they are predicting up to 25 named storms this year, which is terrible. The water in the Gulf is very hot this year, which makes for EXTREMELY strong storms, (Hurricane Harvey brought us 52+ inches of rain in 48 hours!) and while we had 125-mph sustained winds, it caused tornadoes in the hill country. Austin had an E5, wiped out everything, right down to the foundations. Keep in mind that hurricane season here is June 1-Nov. 1. I am from Houston, which now has 7 million people in the area, and we consider the Hill country to be quite cool in temps, compared to our blistering hot, swampy heat. 🌴🐊🌴🐍🌴 We were married at a lavender farm in the Hill country, it is nice. Texas is huge, Houston is in SE Texas, and I can drive 11 hours to El Paso, and still be in Texas! I went to grad school in Oregon - I swear, I was cold for two years! 😊

Many thanks for watching, and for the feedback! I lived in southwest FL for many years, and can totally relate to the heat/hurricane info.

@@rurallivingwithtyandlisa eeeee, Florida is the only place I can think of that has more hurricanes! Good luck to you guys! Portland OR was where I went to grad school, but I was so broke all the time, I did not get to enjoy it. Rode the train for more than an hour once with two other Texans to get some real Tex-Mex food, cried when we ate it, cause it tasted like...home. ❤

Welcome back to Oregon, Ty. Great friendships require little maintenance. Great scenery and footage. Thanks for sharing with a fellow Oregonian Sub!

Thanks Stan… we’re hopeful the Texas community will appreciate our “state of jefferson” vibe 😊
