I like Kansas. Supposedly the tornado alley state but I am 75 and have
never seen one. Does happen sometimes but so do car accidents.

If you chose to live in a forest, you know darned well sometime there

will
be a forest fire. Not if but a certainty.

On the coast, especially east, you know you will have hurricanes
occasionally, not maybe but a certainty.

Live in the mountains and there is a good chance a rock slide or forest

fire
will get you.

I'll take the good old boring central states


I realize that southern Ontario doesn't qualify since it is not in the US,

but
is is relatively hazard free. The last bad blizzard we had was almost 30

years
ago. Every ten years or so there is a small hurricane that comes along and
knocks over a few trees and takes off a roof . The last hurricane that hit

her
e
with any force was Hurricane Hazel in 1954. We don't get volcanos,

earthquakes
,
floods. It doesn't get extremely hot or extremely cold. It's pretty safe

and
boring. Most of us are doomed to die of old age.


Yes but then the smog is somewhat hazardous to ones health as is an
increased risk of tornados...there are also heat spells. If you're
thinking Canada the best climate is probably southern NS. No extreme
cold or heat...little snow. There is a very small risk of hurricanes
reaching the area...the weather on the west coast is a bit better but
then they are on the brink of falling into the ocean by the 'big one'
or being swamped by a tsunami.


But the black flies can strip a carcass in seconds.
