Supposedly Detroit is the safest place from natural disasters …
But um it’s Detroit so I think I’ll stay here & take my chances
Michigan in general is pretty insulated from natural disasters, and quite fertal with plenty of water. One wouldn't need to limit themselves to just Detroit for that benefit. If there were ever a societal collapse of some kind Northern MI is where I'd go. It's where all of my "nature" friends will be lol.
The east coast is too populated. People from the major cities would flee to more rural areas. The northwest would be your best bet (WY, ID, MT, ND, SD). I'd look for a cabin or farmhouse far from population centers but close enough to a few small towns to get supplies.

You just described mountains area of SE OK. 3 hours from DFW and other nearby cities except Tulsa which is under 3 hours but more than 2. I'd not call Tulsa a major city either.

Plus you got the Michigan Militia. Are they still around? I wouldn’t mind behind around some heavily armed citizens if the sh** really hit the fan. Michigan would be great for a lot of reasons, but the lack of fresh fruit and vegetables during winter would be tough. Nothing can beat Hawaii, but Michigan has to be right up there too.
I would feel trapped on an island so it wouldn't be one of those and it wouldn't be a place with a lot of lawyer politicians because they would spend all day talking about what to do instead of doing it. It wouldn't be someplace with a lot of woketards wearing tee shirts proclaiming how wonderful they are because I'd rather wander off into the woods and die than spend any time with them...like the computer said in War Games, "The only winning move is not to play."

Michigan has its share of destructive tornados, and a winter blizzard can be life-threatening, as well as shut down commerce.

Michigan gets tornadoes, but it's not exactly in tornado alley. Especially not the UP. Even in Oklahoma, people have enough warning to take cover.
Snow isn't that big a deal if you know how to handle it. In the even of some sort of apocalypse, outside commerce isn't likely to matter anyway.
As for the growing season, people managed to store food for the winter long before refrigeration, long-haul trucks, and supermarkets.
There are all sorts of places that would fit the bill.
In my opinion:
Places that are comfortably away from large populations.
Areas that aren't drought-prone and don't need much irrigation.
Comfortably above and away from sea level.
Lots of excess water in SE Oklahoma. Lake Huge for example has a stationary height dam and the excess water going over the dam is sufficient to take care of NYC several times. Good soil too as well as remote.
