Vandaler, how do you explain how a disproportionate number of retired Navy veterans (and those in the Navy currently) have bought land in the Ozarks? Apparently, it's one area the Navy recommends to its people, saying it will be a safe area.
I learned this from that lecture that was formerly posted on youtube -- it's been taken down for mysterious reasons.
The speaker said that at one conference, an insurance agent came up to him, introduced himself, and said that, "I always wondered why so many ex-Navy were living in that area!"
I'm sure it's easy enough to verify that fact.
