Innerzone is right. Every area has some weather issues and sometimes more. I live in an area of Texas prone to heavy rains and street flooding, tropical storms and hurricanes. We had to evacuate for Harvey just a year ago. We got lucky, but so many people did not. One of my daughter’s best friends lost her house and now the family is living with a set of grandparents while they try to rebuild. Since I have lived here 14 years, we have had to evacuate 3 times for hurricanes, and shortly before we moved here, Tropical Storm Allison came in and did a number on the area. We lost electricity for weeks with Hurricane Ike as well as our roof (it caused a lot of wind damage here). Evacuation traffic is awful, no gas, no water, no food any where. During the Hurricane Rita evacuation (poorly planned), but it was on the heels of Katrina, everyone fled, and over 100 people died due to heat and other factors just trying to evacuate. We also live in an industrial area with a lot of chemical plants nearby. Chemical mishaps have happened. We have had to shelter in place, air conditioning off, windows closed in the middle of summer until the all clear was given.

Every place has something.
