I guess wild fires aren't considered a natural disaster. Wild fires are something I consider much more of a risk than earthquakes. I love trees but intentionally chose a home not surrounded by pine trees in Colorado to avoid the wild fire risk. Lightning starts many of them. It doesn't get much more natural than that.

That must have been about 20 miles from our home. It is supposed to have landed in Macomb county and that is just a couple of miles from here. Apparently is is worth money so lots of people are out looking for it today. We have often said how grateful we are to live is such a geographically safe area.
they don;t seem to have anything for meteors....

Bill, here some more reasons to think about Michigan as the place to be . . . should we happen to live so long. 
According to Popular Science, the longtime publication about science, technology and more, Michigan will be the United States' most-desired state to live in by 2100. The finding - based on weather patterns, temperatures and natural disasters - was presented in video format on March 10. Popular Science arrived on Michigan using a process of elimination, predicting that in 2100:
"Sea levels could rise up to 6.6 feet." This eliminated most areas on the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
"Category 4 and 5 hurricanes will double." This eliminated coastal areas near the oceans.
"Tornadoes will be more severe, frequent and unpredictable." This eliminated the area known as "Tornado Alley" in the middle of the country.
"Almost the entire country will be at a greater risk of drought." This eliminated most of the central part of the country where water is sparser.
"The west will get hotter by 6.5 degrees and wildfires will burn 650 percent more land for every 1.8-degree rise in temperature." Seems self-explanatory. (see Patricia they did consider it, even if its not on the map).
"Mosquitoes that carry pathogens like Dengue and Zika will expand their range. This eliminated pretty much everything else, except Michigan."
Thankfully we may not be around but what about the kids and grandkids, best to plan now Bill.

Dave, Are you trying to tell us Michigan doesn't have mosquitoes?
