A new map plotting deaths resulting from forces of nature reveals where Mother Nature is most likely to kill you.
People living in the South along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts have a higher likelihood of dying from a natural hazard compared to residents of the Great Lakes area and urbanized Northeast.

I’d rather face a hurricane or tornado than walk through some streets in America were the chances of getting shot are very good!

Since I moved here to central Indiana we have had two F1 tornadoes hit our property, a 200 year flash flood and a freaking earthquake.
That map is full of ....

Red posted a MUCH clearer map in post 13, so you can refer all questions to him.

Not really enough to justify the study. It seem much to do about little to me.

The way I see it, the map depicts blue=less nature, red=more nature.

“Once again, NJ is solidly blue.”
The map references death by natural causes. In Sopranostan, not a lot of deaths are accidental, if you get my drift.

Man what is going on in Coconino County, Arizona?? Cold? Heat? Many city-slicker hikers in the Grand Canyon getting themselves killed by heat stroke. This happens every year.
Hunters freezing to death in early blizzards.
People on Lake Powell in storms going down with their boats.
Flash floods hitting people in slot canyons and low-water crossings. About ten years ago, 12 hikers were killed in one flash flood in Antelope Canyon. Paria Canyon has also killed people.
Lightning strikes EVERYWHERE during the summer months. You really have to see a high-mountain summer thunderstorm in northern Arizona to believe how violent it can be. Very very scary.
Southern Utah has similar conditions.
Divide all that by a relatively small population denominator, and you get a high mortality rate.

What a stupid title. The likelihood of death is 100% among all humans. NOBODY gets out alive.

The map references death by natural causes. Yes - elevated incidence of cancer and clusters of a bevy of diseases, all from exposure to byproducts of oil refining, chemical, pharma manufacturing and other industries, all do not count either. Wommen and children hardest hit!
