Thanks for these, I was aware after researching (for years!) places where we'd want our 'forever home'. Above, I specifically called out something you can't generally build for, which is flooding. Flooding comes either from water running down hill or from below, due to rising bodies of water. Our house is at the top of a very shallow rise/'hill', so we don't have to worry about the former. That we're more than 100 feet above any relevant body of water protects us from the latter. The other items are generally about high winds, and this house is pretty much proof against that. It was massively over-built. The only thing it could not withstand is a direct hit from a powerful tornado.
