Who lives in an area immune from natural disasters.

[Colt45]

Nothing much really happens here. Unless you count -50 as a natural disaster

 

[randal]

I live in Colorado. Sometimes the wind blows hard.

 

[Xyo II]

I'm pretty sure the snowstorms and temperature found here in Wisconsin would be counted as a natural disaster by many states.

 

[Journer]

NW-Central AL is pretty safe...never had an earthquake since ive lived here, no major floods that i know of, tornados usually die around montgomery...as does all the hurricane crap...prolly not the safest in the world...but meh

Nothing much really happens in Tucson either. Unless you count 120+ as a natural disaster

 

[Jfrag Teh Foul]

Mostly safe except for the New Madrid fault, springtime tornadoes always popping up everywhere, super-cell storms, and the occasional ice storm that knocks out power for about a week.

 

[KRandor]

Well - the area I'm in has never had any problems at all AFAIK... We had a really minor earthquake once - (there's a really small fault-line near here) - but nothing to write home about... Can get a really small amount of flooding with the nearby river, but it's never that bad, and it hardly ever snows that badly either - (usually lucky if you get enough to make a snowman ). And most storms generally rumble round the hills surrounding us aswell - so we rarely get the full brunt of any storm that comes over - (not that they're particularly bad either).

So I'd count this area as pretty damn safe from natural disasters - (until the seas rise by a considerable amount - then we'll all be swimming)...

I'm in Loughborough, Leics. England...

 

[RelaxTheMind]

I enjoy the occasional hurricanes now and then here in va/nc... gives a lot of people that own chainsaws plenty of work.

You live in CA right? Doesn't the San Andreas fault run through pretty much the whole state? I could be wrong.

very little possibility of flooding, the river is only 50 feet across... no earthquakes, oceans, hurricanes, not even many tornadoes ever.

50 feet across doesn't tell you much. The river could be a 100 feet deep.

It isn't. There are no large rivers in SW Ontario... I live here too, and this place is essentially immune to natural disasters, unless you count snowstorms... even then there hasn't been a bad one in a long time, unless you count the one from 10,000 years ago

Are you kidding?

F5 in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa 1998
F5 in Birmingham 1974
F4 in Tuscaloosa back in 2004
F4 in Huntsville in 1989

And a slew of other tornadoes.

Also, what about Hurricanes Opal, Ivan, and Katrina that all did extensive damage in Central and Northern Alabama. In fact, Tuscaloosa was part of the Federal Disaster area and eligible for the Katrina Tax Credit.

pretty safe here from "natural" disaster. although i suppose maybe if there was a really strong quake over at India we might feel a bit. i do live about 40 minutes from the sea, but i live about 200m above the sea which is pretty safe.

 

[gsethi]

<< Right in the SF Bay Area. We get occasional quakes all the time. Anything less than 6, we dont even bother much. last time (couple of months ago), we got a 4.xx and I didnt even feel it

anyways, we are due for a ~7.xx-8.xx on the Hayward fault running thru the bay area. Could be anytime and is expected to cause MAJOR catastrophe...

I live near Sacramento. I know Sacramento it self has a high flood risk, but where I am south of Sacramento the elevation is a little bit higher, and we are further from the river. So the flood risk here is basically 0.

uh, dude, unless you're quite high up, a tsunami caused by an asteroid impact in the pacific will pwn you.

 

[BudAshes]

Just stay out of Oregon if you hate tsunamis. There is a tsunami warning like every 50 feet on highway 1 for some reason. I don't seem to remember any Oregon tsunamis but they seem pretty damn worried.

no way, buffalo receives bad blizzard storms every year. it's not "safe".

 

[biostud]

Denmark, last natural disaster was the ice age. We have had a single storm a few years ago which tumbled a lot of trees and roofs, but not even close to a natural disaster. Only the melting of the ice caps will put us in trouble as the single highest hill is 176m above sea level.

 

[pray4mojo]

You live in CA and you dont get earthquakes?

just stay home, you will be safe. if all the other natural disasters, I would like to be evacuate.

 

[DrPizza]

western NY, just outside the snowbelt area. No natural disasters so far. Tornados happen, but are of the F1, make it 100 yards, category.

 

[IEC]

Nowhere is safe. That said, I imagine Arizona is probably safer than other places since about the only thing that could occur there is drought
