Tornadoes: Oklahoma City, Moore,...Tuscaloosa or Joplin recently
Earthquakes: LA, San Francisco, Saint Louis
Hurricanes: New Orleans, Miami, Galveston
Wildfires: LA, Paradise, Ventura/Santa Barbara...? I suppose if you also consider urban fires Chicago and New York

You need too add this in because this actually results in more insurance claims every year than the others you have listed. Please add Severe weather/hail and Snow/Winter storms into the natural disasters

Tornadoes

Earthquakes

Hurricanes

Wildfires

Severe Storms/Hail

Drought

Snow/.Winter storms

Don't forget tsunamis. Hilo, Hawaii has been hit twice in the past 75 years.

Also, though far less common, volcanoes are a hazard in certain areas.

Snow and winter storms are not disasters. Floods may be.

They most certainly can be. Blizzards are some of the worst natural disasters in economic damage and loss of life.

Neither Tampa or Savannah have had a hurricane impact them directly the past 100 years...

Blizzards last for a couple of days, and don't cause permanent structural damage, as a rule. They do close down schools for a day or two, intermittently, but don't typically damage homes, businesses, etc. Cars, yes, accidents happen. Earthquakes don't happen as often, but can be much more damaging. Fires seem to be happening every year lately, and there is significant permanent damage from those. Economic damage from blizzards, is not significant. Businesses don't close down for more than a day, or two. Where I live, we get blizzards, but businesses rarely close. Schools do, though, for a day, or two.
