What's the safest state in the U.S. as far as natural disasters are concerned?

Answer 1

I'd have to say a place like Tennessee. Tennessee is hilly and in many places quite mountainous, so tornados and that kind of a deal aren't a big problem. It also never gets to hot or too cold there so excessive storms are not as big of a problem. You won't have extreme snow-ins like in Rocky Mountain states or certain northeastern or midwestern states, and it is too far off of the coast to get the hurricanes that so often hit the southeast.

It isn't on a fault line or susceptible to earthquakes like much of the far west, and there is no volcanic activity, such as in Yellowstone in Wyoming that could pose any kind of threat.

Because it is hilly and subject to a more stable climate, you don't see the kinds of flash flooding you can see in southwestern states, where thirty minute rain storm can fill up the arroyos and start running onto the streets, or the kinds of prolonged rain and flooding that wash through parts of northern Mississippi and Louisiana.

Yep, I would have to say Tennessee.

I say this as a person that has lived, in Washington state, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Michigan, Utah, and Wyoming.

Go with Tennessee if you are scared.

Answer 2

I was thinking about Alaska, but they have blizzards there, problems with avalanches and wildfires, as well as being susceptable to tsunamis. My pick would be the Eastern slope of a mountain on a major Hawaiian island. Being up the slope of a mountain protects you from tidal waves/tsunamis. Being on the Eastern slope protects you from hurricanes that hit the West coast of the islands (weather patterns in Hawaii always move in the general direction of West to East). You will still get earthquakes because you're living on a sleeping or active volcano, but my experience living in Hawaii is that their earthquakes aren't that life-shattering. There is the possibility of a devestating erruption of a volcano, but not likely in your lifetime, and certainly not as often as other natural disasters happen in other areas of the country!

Answer 3

properly.. what are the organic and organic mess ups... earth - earthquake's, landslides water - tsunamies air - tornadoes, hurricanes warmth - hearth - wooded section fires.. too a lot warm temperature or by employing creating use of lightning chilly - snow- extreme chilly climate, blizzards now by potential of the easy incontrovertible truth that is probably .. homework or smth.. u ought to need to lookup some map. Maps showing the area the placement optimal tornados, hurricanes, etc etc hit inthe previous... and u ought to need to overlap the maps ( mentally)... and also you could ensure out the placement those circumstances are a lot a lot less probably to look, as such, "the most secure section to stay in"

Answer 4

Washington DC. Oddly it has the fewest natural disasters but causes the most unnatural disasters. Currently it's reveling in a bloody quagmire stage.

Answer 5

I would probably say Chicago. I've been living in the city of Chicago for all my 26 years and I feel very safe here never been in any kinds of natural disasters my whole life. No floods, no tornado's, no earth quakes, no hurricanes. Nothing. Thank you God.

Answer 6

Cali's got earthquakes, most other places have hurricanes and floods, I have never heard of any natural disasters in NY but that probably due to a lack of experience.

Answer 7

Texas is one of the safest, no hurricanes, earthquakes, or floods, only thing you have to worry about here are a few tornadoes and we don't even have that many of them.

Answer 8

Pennsylvaina...no tornadoes no earthquakes volcanoes lol...tsunamis no hurricanes we do sometimes get the backlash from one but never get hit straight on we rarely get blizzards ice storms. I live in western PA and I haven't seen (as of yet) really anything that bad we had a bit of flooding when Ivan came though...I'm lucky though my house isn't in a low lying area so I didn't get affected but I had friends that I work with that got hit hard...like I said though we really have it quite nice. (oh and no wildfires either if we do its real rare.)

Answer 9

Rhode Island

Answer 10

Texas
