Red, be careful you're not just swapping hurricanes for tornadoes. If you are a Weather Channel watcher, you'd have noticed that area of the Midwest is always under some tornado threat from May till November. Not exactly my idea of a quiet existence.
If you're looking for cheap real estate, Vermont is getting more expensive every second. NYers are moving north and buying up everything. Try upstate Maine if you want peace and quiet and low$$$ real estate, though a bit of French may come in handy.
