I’m sure there are lots of places that are safe to live. Or as safe as you could expect someplace to be. Sure an asteroid could land on your home tonight, but it’s not something you can plan to avoid. But even for those of us that do live in a less then perfect place can still pay attention to weather and plan to deal with it and minimize the risk.

Here in Toledo the only real weather problems we have are tornados, they are extremely selective in who gets attacked so it’s not a big risk and the local Skywarn (Amateur radio emergency group) is very good at working with the national weather service and getting info out and tracking them. I have friends that live to go chase tornados and report on them. Listening to the local Skywarn repeater gives great up to date info on them.
