    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.
