Last time a Hurricane "Watch" was issued. I chose watch since I knew a warning would of been even less. Obviously none for interior states
It's been quite a while since a hurricane watch has been issued for southwest LA at least compared to other parts of the Gulf coast and south Atlantic.
Haven't really had a damaging hurricane affect my area since 2008, outside of flooding from remnants of tropical systems.
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...
Denver is usually most affected by hail in the summer, and by freezing rain sometimes in winter. It doesn't see damaging winds at all, and rain is almost never heavy enough to cause flooding. However, hailstorms have caused major damage to buildings and vehicles alike.
Tampa has not anything near bad since 1921. But that number is coming due for a super CAT5 coming up the pipe from the southwest with gust to 230mph. And it won't be another 99 years or even 29 years.
Probably Washington DC. Too far south for heavy regular snow. Too far inland for hurricane. Away from tornado Alley. You do get thunderstorms, but that is pretty much given anywhere in the USA.
Most buildings in the DC area also have AC and heating as standard features so I’m not including extremely hot and cold weather as a natural disaster.
At first I thought San Diego, but it's in the earthquake zone, right?
