I certainly don't blame you for wanting to leave CA
Long Island is a tremendous island with around 7.5 million people. It's hard to offer you recommendations about an area to live in when we know nothing about your age, socioeconomic background, what you like to do for recreation, if you have a family/children, etc.
There is a LOT of country between LA and LI - why have you focused on LI? Do you have friends/family/work here?
Natural disasters are pretty limited here. The occasional hurricane comes this way - but we have not had a major one since the late 1930's I believe. Some snow - if that's your cup-of-tea - and the occasional heat-wave in the summer - overall weather-wise - it's pretty calm.
We had a major one in 2012 - did you forget how much damage Sandy did?
