I'm north of Houston now, so droughts, fires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, hail, ice storms and small earthquakes are our most likely.0
-
I'm in Melbourne, Australia. We are on a fault and apparently at minor risk of a quake, but really the immediate area is high risk for bushfires, and flooding.0

I live in Tornado Alley.
Three guesses as to what disasters we get.0 -
The area of NJ I live in is prone to Blizzards. I keep a well stocked pantry/freezer. We have the occasional tropical storm, and hurricanes are even more rare.0

Finland here: none, really Teeny tiny knee high tornadoes that knock down your picnic basket and puff sand on your towel at the beach. Medium sized forest fires at most. Sometimes it snows a lot but that doesn't really require any special action.0

East coast of FL here....Cocoa Beach. Hurricanes. In fact I'm watching Tropical Storm Erika now. As of last night it was forecasted to be a hurricane and hit my area Monday. Thankfully recent computer models have its track shifting a bit north. I hate hurricanes.0

West coast of Florida - Tampa Bay Area,. Hurricanes, flooding, lightning storms (I mention lightning because down here it's no joke people get struck more than you think. Recently, a woman was driving her car on the interstate and it was hit by lightning. Causing the whole car to shut down - from 70mph to holy *kitten* wtf just happened!? She lived and luckily avoided major multiple car accidents).East coast of FL here....Cocoa Beach. Hurricanes. In fact I'm watching Tropical Storm Erika now. As of last night it was forecasted to be a hurricane and hit my area Monday. Thankfully recent computer models have its track shifting a bit north. I hate hurricanes.
I've been watching Erika too. Hopefully, she dwindles down and avoids us. Hurricane or not my boss will still have us come to work Monday -_- I don't want to drive in that mess.0 -
Minnesota
- Right at the end of tornado alley but we don't see many of those
- Blizzards of course
- Flooding in spring due to large amounts of melting snow
- That one f*cking week of -20°F to -40°F/C weather every year

Coastal Connecticut:
1) Nor'easters which can cause bad flooding/storm surge in spring/summer and blizzards/ice storms in winter.
2) Hurricanes - Irene and Sandy are the most recent and notable. Although, relatively rare up here.
Other than that, not much. The Northeast is relatively benign when it comes to natural disasters. However, the media here freaks out about every little thing.0 -

Okie here. So tornadoes. We also have frequent small earthquakes (fracking?), ice storms, thunder snow, and regular severe thunderstorms. LOVE it here! I'm a weather geek though.0
-
Colorado so some wildfires, blizzards, hail storms. Eastern CO has to worry about tornadoes as well.0
-
Not much here. Forest fires are about the worse thing we see, those are often man made though so would that be a "natural" disaster? Sometimes they are started by lightening.0

New York City! Hurricanes and the MTA subway.0
-
Alberta, Canada. Tornadoes and wildfires in the summer, hypothermia in the winter. Traffic accident any time.0

windstorms and tornados. i'll take it0

Central Virginia (USA) here. Main one is severe thunderstorm and the like. Ice storms in the winter used to be more common than recent years. The few tornadoes we get tend to be weak F0; way more damage is done by straight lines winds or downbursts.
In 2011 there was a 5.8 earthquake about 30-40 miles NW of here. Weaker than many Cali quakes, but East Coast quakes are stronger further away because of more granite/bedrock vs. softer/sandy. That's why Washington Monument was damaged a 100 miles away.0 -
Portland, Oregon. Not much. There 4 are some Geographical issues, like living next to a stream that might overflow, but it's actually a pretty safe place to live. Our only issues, lately, are poor air quality due to smoke from fires in Eastern Oregon being blown in.0
-
Austria. No tornadoes. No hurricanes. No earthquakes. Heck, even the thunderstorms are pretty weak. So, pretty much just nazis...0
-
SW Ontario, Tornados horrible snow storms and horrendous fog that caused an 87 car pileup back in 1999... But you know, I get my feelings checked for free. Thank You OHIP0
-
Alabama...
Tornadoes.
2011, 2013 and 2014 were horrible.0 -
Northern California...so...wildfires and earthquakes. Used to have to worry a bit about snow but it seems doubtful that will ever be a concern again.0

Pnw. Massive earthquake that's supposed to take everything west of i5 under.0

Does road construction count? Because half of the highways in the cities look like they were hit by an earthquake0

Hey! I'm in North Chesterfield VA too. Severe storms, ice storms, the occasional hurricane that wants to move inland and nor'easters. Grew up at the outer banks of NC though so we had hurricane issues every year or two.0
