I am a Florida native; I live in Florida. 

     Hurricanes come now and then.  We deal with it.

Hurricanes, you have plenty of warning.

I'm there, CALI baby! Like Jeff Dowler I've lived through 3 major fires and 2 major earthquakes. None happen regularly so I'll take them over the regular flooding, snow storms, hurricanes, tornadoes and volcanoes. But then again, I do live in America's Finest City...OH!

I suppose flooding.  We have many canyons in our area, resulting inheavy run-off and flooding during heavy rains.  I've always made sure I live in an area (and elevated) that is not prone to those run-offs.  You have NO control over earthquakes, tornadoes or hurricanes.  

I live in an area that has tornados and is near a fault and have felt an earthquake rumble or two. Every area has its shortcomings.

The invasive snowbirds; we love 'em!

I wouldn't mind any of thoser, except Tornados and probably floods!

I've lived where there are earthquakes, floods and hurricanes

Hurricanes proably the easiest to deal with since you have plenty of notice

Living in Florida, hurricanes are a real possibility - watching "Matthew" as we speak although it is not projected to reach my area.  At least with hurricanes we have plenty of warning and can prepare and get out of the way if needed. I don't think that can be said of earthquakes or tornadoes. 

S. Leanne Paynter ☼ Broward County, FL In my area we see a lot of storms lately and an occasional hurricane like the one that will be coming up the Coast shortly.

You just described every state in the US. I personally live in tornado-ville & it doesn't bother me at all.

None... that's one reason we selected Charlotte.... little to no probability of all those natural disasters.

I choose none of the above!

We've had all of these in my area of New York (believe it or not). If I had to pick one, I'd probably go with the hurricanes. 

S. Leanne Paynter ☼ Broward County, FL - difficult question. Planning not to move at this age - and if I do, it will be San Diego, CA.

hurrican, that comes with a warning.  earthquakes, flash floods and tornadoes.... not so much

I come from Southern California so would probably stick with what I am familiar with.  Earthquakes.  Mark

I'd stay away from tornadoes and hurricanes that come on a regular basis. Earthquakes and floods are more unpredictable, so maybe easier to live here in California where that might happen.

Well I'm here in SoCal with earthquakes and fires and I prefer that to hurricanes and tornadoes. But aren't there issues anywhere you could live?

I live where volcanoes can errupt. I am happy to be here. 

Whatever, I an in real estate in Oklahoma City with tornadoes and earthquakes, and I have a second home in Jupiter Florida which has dodged two hurricanes this year. Like is unpredictable and I accept that.

What about volcanoes? If that supervolcano in Yellowstone National Park blows, the entire northern hemisphere will be wiped out.

I wouldn't live near the banks of rivers that flood, near the beach that get impacted by hurricane or tidal waves.  I live in California and we live in fear of earthquake and fires.  The best locations have the most natural disasters.  I'll stay put for now but we haven't had the big one in over 20 years and our are gets them every 20 years or so.

We have tornadoes in the spring on occasion, but could not imagine a hurricane.

There is always something.  Life is full of risks and if you worry about them all the time, it's hard to be really alive.

Hurricanes! And we evacuated this evening to a nice hotel on the mainland since we live on a barrier island (Cocoa Beach) and Matthew is expected to come too close to our coast for comfort. We started preparing to leave Monday night and are relaxing while waiting for the 11pm update on the Weather Channel.

Word is Jim Cantore will be in Melbourne, about 20 miles south of Cocoa Beach...never a good sign.

we do get hurricanes on occasion...so that would be my choice.... 

I'm a Californian baby!  We have four seasons here: Fire, Flood/landslides, Earthquake and Riots.  I've lived through (and worked) many of these.

Like Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor said, these are rare and I'd much rather deal with the low notice earthquake than the annual train of hurricanes!

I already did, and it is California. Other than earthquakes we also have frequent fires, drought, and terrible traffic/pollution in L.A. hood. 

Blizzards

I have been involve with 2 major floods.  Flash fooding can be bad

Currently there is a 100% probability that I will be in a hurricane in 24 hours.

Hurricanes.  You have plenty of warning.

Earthquakes ... I've been accepting that probability my entire life in CA.

Not a fan of tornadoes or floods - the rest I've dealt with

I like it where I am - in CT; none of the above. Our condo in Florida is now on hurricane watch, but I do love Miami.

You are basically asking, 'If you gotta go, how do you want to go out of this life?"

Since leaping from a tall building wearing a 'Sail Suit' is not on the list, the most 'sensational' I see on the list is a quake.  But I so dislike California I will opt for 'going out' in a confrontation with a big ole Florida gator. Maybe one sent airborne by a Cat 5. However,  with a Cat 5, no one will be around to witness the 'outing.'

I am a California native.  

I have lived in another part of the country.

I returned to California.  

The earthquake tends to have the first & final say. Everything else is handled

The hurricanes of Florida. You have warning to evacuate!

I think I'll stay in Albuquerque.

It is why i love New England I will take an occasional snow that melts over earthquake, tornadoe and hufficanes. 

I have lived on top of the San Andreas fault in Palm Desert and lost a foot of water in my pool with the Landers quake. My many years in San Diego exposed me to all the massive fires that California experiences.  Now I live in Naples, Florida and anticipating my first hurricane (Matthews) to arrive tomorrow night to the Miami area. I think I travel to places with disasters to add excitement to my life.

Hurricanes as they are seasonal and like us snow birds we can get out of the area if we want to.

Hurricanes.

I think we all learn to adapt to the situations we are in.

Silicon Valley-between 2 fires, one started 2.5 month ago near Big Sur 75% contained; the other is Loma Prieta 640% contained.

Loma Prieta had a jolt 3.2 yesterday. In 1989 it was so noticeable that Cypress Bay Bridge miles away collapsed.

Does the earthquake or fire affect real estate? In PA it is $1500-2000/sf,  Median home price is over 1M. Closer to city it is like $1.4M-1.9M for an old small tract homes.

Have not heard of flooding, or homes falling into ocean as water waves do erode earthbank.

I suppose flooding would be the lesser of the evils for me!

I guess it would depend on what else there was to offer in that area.
