Glad you had an enjoyable time, but you're lucky that thing didn't erupt while you were there!
I've been reading about the big quake in the lower Midwest in the early 1800's along the Meridian-Mississippi fault. We're due for a big one between now and the next few hundred years. I'm getting the hell out of the Midwest ASAP!
I'm looking for a safe place from Mother Nature's wrath.
Looking at Fargo, North Dakota.

Met and married a NoDak. We live in Dallas and she says her blood has thinned and she won't move back up north! My brother-in-law was flooded several years back when the Red River rampaged. He was in Grand Forks.
If you desire the long winters and don't mind the isolation, then I would recommend Northern Canada or Alaska. Point Barrow, Inuvik, or Cambridge Bay. Be prepared for lotsa moose!!

Forget Fargo. The Red River Valley is in the middle of an old Glacial Lake Bed and floods almost annually (one of the flattest places on earth). Consider Bismarck, Minot, Williston, or Dickinson first.
