    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.
