I'll take my NJ that has no excessive problems with tornados, hurricanes, major floods, drought, blizzards, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, fire ants, scorpions, bugs bigger than my foot, or other deadly creatures.
Most ignorant people will think our entire state is made up of what you see on the Sopranos: Highways, urban areas, smartazz people, and go-go bars. However enticing the aformentioned are, anyone living here can experience the following with just a short drive: The Ocean/shoreline, Boardwalks, Casinos, countless lakes & rivers for fishing or boating, whitewater rafting on the delaware river, professional sports, hot air ballooning, skiing in the mountains, horseback riding, roadside farm stands to buy your produce, endless hiking/biking trails and parks, should I go on? You may think it's an insult to ask someone if they're from Jersey, the truth is you couldn't even live here if you wanted to.
Thanx! Your small and insignificant opinion will be taken under advisement.
Have a great day!
