The Safest Locationi in the United States
July 21,2013 | Doc Savage

Posted on 07/21/2013 2:21:41 PM PDT by Doc Savage

Where in the United States would you consider yourself the safest? Someplace where there were no hurricanes, no floods, no eathquakes, no tornados, no major blizzards, no black or Hispanic gangs, no black flash mobs, low chance of becoming a murder statistic, no muslim terrorists, insignificant traffic accidents, hidden from government murderers, relatively low chance of coming in contact with deadly bacterial or viral diseases,.......etc. What would be your choice? Is there such a place still left in the US? I'll give you mine later.

Making exception for the ‘earthquake’ and ‘hidden from government murderers’ criteria; I would say northern Idaho.

Where ever you decide, spend a couple of days riding around the area looking for gun shops, stores that sell fishing, hunting gear. Go in and in the conversation inquire of the attitude of the Police / Sheriff Department toward citizens. There many good P.D.s around but you have to find them....

Just as a guess, I would say Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

We've had a week of beautiful blue skies. Temps near 100 daytime, 70 at night in southeast Idaho. Sure good to be away from San Diego where thunderstorms are the weather pattern and freak week (Gay Pride parade, Over The Line, ComicCon) is snarling traffic. I was expecting to be going back there for work this week. The government has other ideas. Being home beats being 900 miles away in San Diego.

Well, I always thought that here in the NYC metro area was very safe weather wise, a few blizzards, but that’s about it.

Then Sandy came, so I learned what I should always known, no place is ever 100% safe.

If Yellowstone pops in a big way, my proximity (180 miles) won't be a problem. It will have world wide repercussions.Starvation is a terrible way to go.

In all fairness there is always risk, so the question needs to be asked, “How close are you willing to be to an unsafe place?”

This is not as easy an answer as it might seem. Even if you are not near a freeway or rail line where there might be a hazardous material spill, in the downwind hazard area of a volcano, near the New Madrid or San Andreas faults, have no abandoned mine shafts in your area, etc., you might be far *enough* away so that it doesn’t menace you.

And you might be so isolated that a slip in the tub could be lethal.

I am born, raised and living in the Columbia Basin of Washington State which has been quiet geologically for a while also (notwithstanding certain Cascade volcanoes which tend to dump a lot of ash here). But you never know when basin activity will pick up (geology and weather).

There were periods of quiescence between major extrusive events...The flows were extruded from vents and northwest-trending fissures east of Pasco and in the southeast corner of the state... The flows were extremely fluid, and as a result a number of them reached the Pacific Ocean via the ancestral Columbia River drainage...The Columbia Basin was the scene of the greatest catastrophic floods ever documented in the geologic record. The Pleistocene Cordilleran ice sheet advanced south into Idaho, damming the Clark Fork River at the Montana border. A huge impoundment, called Lake Missoula, formed.
(later it let go).
