I've heard it said that where I live is one of the safest places to live in the US as far as natural disasters go. No tornadoes, Hurricanes rarely make it this far and whether they come off Pacific or Gulf of Mexico they are largely pushed away by the Sierra Madres. The last significant earthquake seems to have been 40 years ago, 200 miles to the North and was a 4.4 and we are 4000 feet above sea level so flooding's not a huge issue.
