Until recently, I would have said Central Texas, but with as dry as it's been, wildfires have started to become an issue.


Friend of mine lives in Burnet Texas and said the only weather complaint he has is how hot it gets in summer. But all the other shitty weather goes around him.

Arizona. Parts of it get hot as balls though.


Flagstaff is having a record snowfall total this season. They got over 140 inches of snow this season (and that measurement was taken beginning of March and they still are getting occasional snow)


Phoenix Metro area has no severe weather threats (and you won’t see wildfires in the metro area). At least nothing that will severely damage your home. Homeowners insurance is pretty cheap here for that reason.

NE Florida above Jax is pretty tame.

We always dodge direct hits from hurricanes, no flooding, tornadoes, earthquakes. Get some strong thunderstorms storms occasionally.

Salt Lake City down to Provo. They are down in the valley and not subject to the heavy snowfalls in the mountains.

I remember this question was asked a few years back, someone looked it up and it was Syracuse. It stuck with me because it wasn't a place I would have thought of.

Somewhere like North Georgia or Arkansas or North Carolina where its very hilly is pretty damn safe from Tornadoes, you are inland enough to get hurricane protection for the most part.

There's really not many places you are free from flooding/ storms that also don't have drought issues. With drought issues you then have flash floods.

Snow can suck but if you have the proper government infrastructure to handle it then its not that bad.

San Diego has the best weather in the US year round and is far enough from the fault line. However, they do get brush fires at times that are nasty in the hills.

While no place in the United States can be completely free of natural disasters, some regions have a lower risk of certain types of severe weather events.

One area that may fit your criteria is the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, which includes states such as Washington and Oregon. This area typically experiences mild temperatures and relatively low levels of precipitation, with fewer occurrences of hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods. While the region is not completely free of earthquakes, it does not experience the same level of seismic activity as other parts of the country.

The PNW is all fun and games until the Cascadia Subduction Zone goes off.

Also, the area now has significant forest fire risk

Richmond gets snow and the occasional tropical storm/cat 1 hurricane.


A few inches of snow and 25 mph winds from a hurricane that made landfall 200 miles south is hardly dangerous weather
