We love living here. It's a small community, relatively safe from major crime (as much as it can be in today's world), and close enough to a large city so we have pretty much everything we want nearby.
And then there's the weather. We have normal Ohio weather, like any other city/town near us, except I'm beginning to think Oregon is a tornado magnet. Wednesday night we had a second tornado touch down in the course of a year! The one last summer took out a local high school and a couple people were killed. That one was 6 miles from my house. The one on Wednesday was not as bad, luckily no one was injured, but there were several trees down and some houses were damaged pretty badly. It was maybe 8-10 miles from my house. Both times, little Oregon, OH made national news (at least on the Weather Channel)! I'm growing a little concerned! It's not like we are a community of trailer parks that tornados seem to love - in fact, I can't think of a single one in Oregon!! One last summer, one this April....and we aren't even into storm season yet for this year!! I know Oregon starts with an O, but hey, Mother Nature....in case you're confused, Oklahoma (which IS in "Tornado alley") is WAY south of here!!! Not that I'm wishing tornados on anybody.....I just really don't want anymore this close to my home!!
