Possible flooding, tornados, and I'm pretty sure we sit on the New Madrid fault line. . .

We're prone to earthquakes, as well as bad wind storms.

YES. Barack Hussein Obama likes coming here. (The photo-ops of him looking so concerned with tornado victims here are very impressive). Am not sure which is the worst natural disaster, actually. BHO and his Nazi/type S.S. agents,or the Joplin tornado.)

Somewhat. All Eastern Coast Wind States are subject to Named Storm damage. Not as severe as states below Virginia through Texas or Zone 1 Earthquake Zones such as California, Hawaii and parts of some other states.

Nothing to risk here in San Diego... unless you consider the invasion a "natural" disaster.

The New Madrid fault line is one I constantly watch. I think Earthquakes along that line would be extremely devastating. The construction types are not up to the California standards -- some thing I personally analyze frequently. Depends where you live though . . . you could be just outside a Zone 1 . . .

Although we have recently had droughts every 4-5 years the most dangerous thing is a rouge tornado or random flooding in counties other than my own.

Gamma ray bursts and meteors constitute natural disasters, so all parts of the planet are exposed to the potential. My area on the Baja is prone to Pacific Rim earthquakes.

Although I do live near the Syrio-African rift, which creates some earthquakes, and there can be droughts from time to time where I live, it's never of a scale of a natural disaster.

So, no, we don't really have natural disasters where I live.

OUR disasters are all man-made . . .

We used to have hail storms and tornados, but we haven't had any for over 10 years. They have all went East.

I keep hearing we're going to have this "big earthquake" one day. I've heard it for my entire life. It's been 27 years now... still waiting. However I do know it can happen. I'm insured for it... and looking forward to it. Unless I die, fml.

Would a blizzard be considered a natural disaster? We've had an occasional mild earthquake but I be more concerned about Nor'easters barreling up from the Gulf of Mexico during the wintertime than anything else. Then we hafta contend with the lake effect machinery in upstate NY hitting us.
