Sacramento, CA has pretty uneventful weather, lots of sunshine, and pretty far from major fault lines so is not at risk for major earthquakes (if the Bay Area had a major one, you might feel some light shaking but no damage). Summers are bone dry and provide 98 percent of possible sunshine. Winters are mild and moderately rainy. It's also cheaper than the SF Bay Area, L.A., or San Diego.
apparently Sacramento has a HUGE risk of big flooding tho
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Upstate New York, Appalachia, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and the Rockies are pretty good imo. Some of these areas might get snowstorms, blizzards or weak hurricanes, but for the most part, the worst case is that economic activity will stop for a couple days with some black outs and damaged trees. You're typically not going to have major loss of life and damage to buildings, and you'll have time to prepare unlike with tornados or earthquakes.
Minnesota and Wisconsin are often considered to be in "tornado alley."
I watched it unfold on TV. The horror of it was mind boggling. The loss of those precious children inside their schools is heartbreaking. Tornado alley or not, that tornado was on the ground for 40 minutes. The age of the Mega Storm is now a part of the world as we know it.
Yes its very sad.... Many do not think it was a NATURAL STORM... (HAARP) -- With a funnel AS WIDE AS THIS WAS,you have got to wonder!
Tornado alley or not, I think it's ridiculous that such storms happen. Ever. People ought to be able to live their lives without being harassed like this. One of the main things I have a hard time dealing with in life is that there's nowhere you can move to and have pretty much absolute assurance that nothing of this sort will ever occur. I mean, you could live in places like Arizona or southern CA, but then you have wildfire problems or flash floods. If you like Miami for its warm weather & beaches you now have to tolerate the risk of hurricanes. If you like the beauty of Hawaii you have the risk of volcano eruptions, typhoons and tsunamis.
Thus, I don't really think it's ridiculous for someone to be upset at their home being destroyed by a tornado even if they chose to live in "tornado alley," because--again--if they decided to live in AZ or southern CA instead well now you're in "wildfire alley." So you decide to live in Minnesota but now you live in a place where blizzards can occur. Why can't mother nature just leave people the heck alone, period? (Or, if there really is a place where you will pretty much be guaranteed freedom form harassment, it's either in the middle of nowhere making it impractical in every other way, or it costs a ridiculous amount of money to live there.) I know, "that's life," well it sucks, big-time.
Wow really did you seriously just say that?! Understand I had no intentions of joining or posting to this website, but I deeply felt such retardedness needed to be addressed promptly for the sake of the rest of humanity as some people should not have permission to use the internet, but unfortunately no one can stop them.
You do realize you live on the 3rd planet from the sun called 'earth' yes?! The 'ridiculous' weather/natural phenomena you speak of that 'harasses' us, gave this planet life so that we could live on it and is repeated on almost every other planet we know of 1,000,000 times stronger! Weather is created because we, like the rest of the universe that surrounds us, have complex systems of gravity, rotation, and solar winds that makes reality and life what it is! I'm sorry, but if you find this so 'ridiculous' you don't live in reality and should seriously think of offing yourself if you can't deal with the reality there is no ****ing absolute assurance of anything, an asteroid could come slamming into us day after tomorrow wiping us all out, when stars die they take everything out in an immediate radius and the sun is a star that will die someday and with it our planet! The beauty in this death is that the star will be reborn as a star or black hole and life can find a way to begin anew somewhere else in the universe.
Yeah it sucks, but you're a human not a damn god the universe or mother nature doesn't owe you anything especially supreme safety, even though it does so by blocking enough of the suns rays so you aren't burnt to a crisp & more, & will never bow to your wishes!
Respect it for the power above you that it is and realize it's here for a reason even the wildfires, typhoons and volcanoes! Even without us on this planet these natural disasters happened/will continue to happen because they are just that NATURAL and a part of this beautiful planet we call home!
