I agree with that! Hurricanes and tornadoes have killed more people and done more property destruction, in the US, than earthquakes and fires. And they happen multiple times every year.

I have no idea! ... here in Florida Hurricanes, fire, flooding are all a risk ... I don't live on coast or flood zone ... we have some good size brush fires but nothing like CA ... Have had several near misses with Hurricanes ... Irma recently and Charlie a few years back we were ready for them and can lock it down ...... properly built homes hold up fine to a hurricane if you are away from the surge on the coast... old homes were beat up in Charlie while new construction hardly got touched ... we were flooded in 1991 in my first house in Sarasota a wet fall and freak rain of 22 inches in 2 days and we were not in a flood zone ... Weather can pop up anytime we had near miss with a small tornado F-0 Friday night ... I think of all of it Tornado's scare the hell out of me and I would never want to deal with some of the snow storms up north

The thing about earthquakes is that (Just guessing here) probably 75% of himes have no earthquake insurance.

every year the insurance company sends VIA certified mail and offering for that added coverage, I would do it if I lived where they were more prone to occur. Most people would spend more money on the lottery than the coverage would cost. With those odds they would have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than winning.

Gas under 2.50/gal. Definitely not at home in Ca.

We own 4 homes. All have earthquake. If you have enough equity in your home where you can not walk away from it, its dumb not to buy it.

Read an article a year or so ago about the safest place in the US to live with respect to natural disasters. Conclusion was Walla Walla, WA.

I would think most of the desert areas would be safe, just sunstroke. Walla Walla is pretty desolate, except for farming.

I can agree with this conclusion. I live about 170 miles north of Walla Walla so have a bit more winter and a little less summer than WW does. But, for the most part here in eastern Washington State our weather is moderate without extremes. Warm dry summers without excessive heat and humidity and cold winters with snow but without extreme temps and snow depths. (Generally speaking that is, weather can always throw a curve ball) We do get the occasional ice storm, wind storm or wildfire but the longest I personally have been without power is two days. Others nearby have been out for up to 10 days but I have been lucky.
No state income tax but high state taxes otherwise, particularly in fuel, booze and cigs. (Don’t smoke or drink (much) but do drive a bit) Property taxes are up there if you live in the cities or suburban areas with higher school district taxes. I’m more rural and in a lower taxed district which helps but still pay 4K in property taxes yearly. Vehicle tabs are pretty cheap as we are no longer taxed on value but like any gvt agency we are getting fee creep!
Not an expert here as this is the only place I have ever lived and have no intention of ever leaving other than maybe 30 miles to the east to Idaho.
