Ok, back on track here.... I think its nearly impossible to find one single place with the worst weather. Every place has its pros and cons. While some have bad winters (ie MN, AK, NH, etc), others have nice winters (ie FL, SoCal, Hawaii). Some states have nice summers (ie MI, NH, etc), others have hell summers (ie TX, AZ, FL, etc). Some states get pounded by hurricanes, others with tornadoes. Some get earthquakes, some get ravaged by fires. Some get slogged with mudslides, others with brutalizing droughts. Some get obnoxiously hot dry heat, others get cooler but swampy humid heat. Every state has bad weather in one form or another, no place is better than the next.
Earthquakes are not weather.
Neither are fires, except when created by lightning. Many times the weather (strong winds) does makes fires worse.
Personally, I don't think IL is that bad. From watching the weather channel - it seems the plains states get a lot of really hot and really cold extremes.
My personal h*ll - FL from May til
sorry - clicked too early - September. SO hot and humid and the hurricane seasons.
Arizona---150+ days of temps over 100 degrees. 4 months between rain and blowing dust that gets into everything!

If you could do parts of states, you could say either Upstate New York or Northeastern Maine.
Unlike MN, they get almost as cold and get a lot more snow than Minnesota, except for the Duluth area.
I might even count earthquakes. Sure, they're not weather, but they're natural phenomena and people have to put up with them.
Should have titled this: Which state has the worst overall 'natural phenomena'.
