I've heard Pittsburgh to be the safest major city disaster-wise and I believe it to be true. Only thing we have is snow, but we don't get a ton.
That being said, it's cloudy all the time. I'd rather take my chances with the tornados

Someone educate me on Knoxville. I have this idea in my head that it's the perfect combination of temperate weather + minimal natural disaster risk.

Ummm, Not to derail, but am I the only one who picked up on AI referring to itself as an individual with a past? WTF.

Hawaii. Even the volcanos are low key. One tsunami in the 60s. Pretty good odds.

You wouldn’t like it. NAU is a very liberal college and majority of Flagstaff residents are pretty liberal as well (thank goodness cause I love visiting Flag on a regular basis)

With as many insurace people one here surely someone has a chart of where in the country the cheapest homeowners insurance per dollar of coverage is. My guess is going to be middle west

No hurricanes! No floods! Very few tornados! No wildfires or earthquakes! No snow of more than 12"! Does such a place exist?
Couldn’t you say this about some of the northern parts of the gulf coast?
If you are elevation it won’t flood. If you are far enough inland the hurricanes won’t be hurricanes by the time they reach you.
Yes possible tornadoes but not in tornado ally. No fires, no quakes, and no deep snow unless it’s a 100 year blizzard or some shite, which has happened in the southern states.

“Seattle is a beautiful place to live, work and play but it's not immune to major disasters. On the contrary, our region ranks number one in the country in terms of the number of hazards we face, which includes winter storms, landslides, flooding and earthquakes.”

Flag is a great short trip respite from Vegas summers. Also love to drive along Route 66 through AZ and NM.
I don't worry about tolerating liberals. I force them to tolerate ME.
Vegas overall is fairly safe weather wise. It can occasionally be hell for those with allergies and breathing issues.

Wildfires and flooding are out there. In summer, some areas in the valleys live weeks with smoke blanketing the air. Mix it in with the dust from harvest, and the dry heat, people get hospitalized frequently for air quality issues. In the winter those same valleys have the fog roll in and sticks, and the freezing fog makes life miserable.
Really not many regions immune from some type of weather event. Just gotta figure what terrifies you less.

Northern Mississippi and Alabama have experienced a great amount of tornadoes in the past decade.

Until recently, I would have said Central Texas, but with as dry as it's been, wildfires have started to become an issue.
Jarrell, TX got absoltely obliterated by tornadoes a while back.

There are parts of the Texas hill country that are nowhere near as bad with hail and tornadoes as northern Texas and doesn’t get the hurricane force winds from hurricanes.
The climate of Texas west of I-35 is very different than the rest of the state.
