since 1950?
I'd say thats pretty low risk.
How many earthquakes have we had in that time?
How many hurricanes have caused billions of damage in that time? Floods/draught/etc
> which it doesn't sound like it was factored in to the ranking.
I dont think it was, it was ranked by natural disasters - so unless its a major blizzard it probably wouldnt be measured. (oh they probably didn't include hail either, which is uncommon, but more damaging to property)
I also dont think snow is on the same level as a natural disaster from an insurance risk perspective, but it likely results in greater or at least similar fatalities overall so i think its a fair point.
I'm not arguing the midwest is immune to all danger, i'm only saying living there puts you at lower risk of being affected by a natural disaster - /and/ - that the land there isn't already owned by 'rich people' (to take us back to why i commented in the first place)
Also - i wish that tornado map was interactive, would be great to see more of the filters
