My farming family has lived in Southern CA since the 1870’s. No one has been hurt or has lost property from an earthquake.
Tornados look terrifying.
Choose your poison as they say.
Or minimize your poison. Over the last few years there have been minor earthquakes in my area, only damage is crack in the street down the block from from me. We have hurricanes, but by the time they are this far inland it is not much a problem if you are on high ground. Same thing when it comes to flooding. I intentionally chose my home to not be in a flood plain, even though the mighty Susquehanna River is four miles from my home. Then there are ice storms. We get those every few years, but not much damage. There are occasional tornados, but nothing like in tornado alley.
I figure a volcano will erupt in my backyard any day tho.
