This is why i'll take my Pennsyvania appalachian mountains over anyplace else....get some flash flooding in the valleys, but i live on a hill, few tornadoes, no hurricans, earthquakes, never known there to be major forest fires in my lifetime anyway. plus we are far enough from the major cities where hopefully noone wants to attack us. lol.  and we have plenty of green and water. as long as you can stand the cooooold winters.

*happy to be living in the hills*

Where exactly is a 'safe' place to live?

 

North Dakota? Let?s see, no hurricanes, no earthquakes, no big fires -(no forests), no big floods because we have no big bodies of water. Although we have had a couple of rivers flood a couple of cities in the past, but nothing with 100 + winds with it. No big tornados, just little ones. No volcanoes, ........did I miss any kind of natural disasters that can cause a lot of damage and take hundreds of lives?  The worst we get is blizzards, but you stay in where it is warm, wait it out and then when it is over go play in the all the new snow. (ok and you also have to shovel your car out so you can get back to work).
