True, but the Mid Atlantic region doesn't have much in the way of tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, etc. Ditto New England?

I'm thinking Boise, Boise, Idaho. I never hear of nor'easters or hurricanes or tornados and earthquakes hitting Boise.

But I'm sure that could change too when the Yellowstone super volcano erupts.

Or a dam breaks.

The nation's dam-safety program, for example, was created after the poorly designed Teton Dam in Idaho broke in 1976, killing 11 people and costing millions of dollars in damage.
