I prefer to maintain a degree of anonimity - but I have indicated that I live in Michigan. West side of the state to be more precise.
We really don't have much in the way of extreme weather or natural disasters around here. Plenty of snow to shovel in the winter - but we're far from the hottest or the coldest. No volcanoes, earthquakes, extreme flooding, or hurricanes.
Pretty tame from a natural threat perspective.
As has been said earlier in the thread - the economy stinks - but you can't have everything.
My questions are sincere - I really don't understand why so many people choose to live in areas that appear to be in the path of this type of event. People staying near where they were born is one thing - but many of these areas are growing exponentially. And the transplants are coming from places similar to where I live that would appear pretty tame by comparison. Clearly my timing is not very sensitive. I apologize for that.
