By that logic, 80% of the US is somewhere you shouldn't want to live, and the other 20% is where you shouldn't be allowed to live.
West Coast=Tsunamis and Eartquakes. High desert=Dust Storms. Midwest and South=tornadoes, East Coast=hurricanes.
Choices are getting slim.

We just don't understand other people's perspectives... I went to visit my sister in Kentucky on summer and all people could ask was how I could live in an area with earthquakes

Well, I'm not really upset so much as annoyed.
People tend to think of us as barefoot hillbillies to, or at least people did when I was in the Navy. I swear, people think that it's still The Grapes Of Wrath around here.
Generalizations get around too much.
Exactly! So why stick around for the next one...?
this is Oklahoma and it's May. We're going to have a few tornadoes.

California has it share of volcanoes, and with it being a seismic area i will not be surprised if one of those volcanoes blow soon, As beautiful as Northern Cali is I would suggest moving if you live near any of the volcanoes. With the drought they have been having lately there also has been a lot of wildfires, which not only destroys life but damages health and well being. And now California has radiation floating over from japan. Ive noticed that cali has stayed relatively safe from disaster for a long time, as you previously mentioned, which means that something is coming sooner rather than later
