    My state is listed as highest risk. I’ve rarely experienced any natural disasters there ever, so I’m doubting the accuracy of this map.

        Exactly. Calling all the bullshit. IL is actually known for being extremely safe natural disaster-wise. No wildfires, earthquakes, floods, droughts, heatwaves, deepfreezes, tsunamis, or hurricanes, no volcanos or mountains so no mudslides or avalanches, relatively few tornados/severe storms.

          I looked into it, and it seems like southern Illinois gets hit by residual hurricane/tropical storms often, which may cause flooding. Personally i lived in chicagoland, so I can’t speak for the south or really the middle. But where I lived it was definitely as safe as you described.

            You can find examples of extreme weather/natural disasters in every single state.

            Central/South IL is literally just fields is corn and soy.

            The map is still crap lol.

    LOL at AZ being highest risk due to heat wave, drought, and wildfires. That’s just every damned day of the week in the southern half of the state, not an uncommon occurrence at all, and hardly a natural disaster. It’s most definitely not anywhere near the same as a hurricane or tornado. And all of them are based on the same source, lack of water because it’s a DESERT.

    The only people that would classify it anywhere near the same as a hurricane or tornado event are those that live in a temperate and never anywhere outside their little comfy zone.
