Hey, I see a safe place way inland: Oklahoma...oops, earthquakes, tornadoes, and floods. Okay, Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa, all way inland so must be safe...oops again, floods and tornadoes. Okay, Colorado, oops...avalanches, tornadoes, floods, and forest fires.
Gosh, what's a person to do except suck it up.
No one can come up with a perfect spot but one can avoid may of the worst spots. If you have shopped property in the Houston area or just browse flood maps it's easy to realize that the population density is planted in the worst possible area. When shopping for property even when a realtor sends a suggestion is to go straight to the flood maps.
If you shop to the north you find some of the worst twisters. We dont shop and say give me the Tow vehicle that breaks the most or give me the TT with the most frame cracking issues. Probability.
I had property that had very low history of any natural damage but there were risks associated with it. It had sand soil so there was the risk of large trees easily blowing over and killing you in your house. What do you do? I cut down the species that were most known to blow over and the ones closest to the house. So what happens then? A wind storm comes through and people are killed by trees hitting their house or mobile home. Risk, reward, probability. Smarter ones cut the trees down.
