A google search turned up several F5 tornadoes in Michigan over the decades. I always found it amusing that my relatives would make a big deal out of any California earthquake they heard about (which were usually so small that nobody paid attention to them here) but essentially ignored all but the largest tornadoes in their state. In California, we've had a few F2 tornadoes over the decades, but tornadoes are rare, and usually are F0 when they occur at all.
If you want to pick a state without any kinds of natural disasters, it's going to be a short list
