I think Denver, Chicago, Buffalo, Cleveland, Seattle are pretty safe.. They might have occasional floods/snow storms, but they also have pretty good plans how to deal with it...
Seattle is prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
While none are major US cities, the absolute lowest risk of natural disaster cities in US are located in Show Low, AZ, Farmington, NM, Gallup, NM, Craig, CO, Grand Junction, CO, and Vernal, UT.

Maybe Philadelphia? It's more inland than some of our other neighbors along the Northeast Corridor, so we're not as vulnerable to rising sea levels. Being inland also helps us avoid the worst impact of the hurricanes that typically slam NJ and NYC. As for earthquakes, we've had a few minor ones, but nothing notable.
Tampa is one of the worst, lightnings and hurricanes daily.
Last cane jane was in 1921. Everyday? I have lived here since 1963 and have to see a real cane with any winds over 75mph. Lightning everyday ray? Where have i been when i lived in Tampa and went months without any real rain or lightning.
