Yeah that's what I thought, isn't parts of the mid west known as tornado alley.

I live in England, so no earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados etc. I guess you can never rule out an asteroid hit though.

I have family in Texas and South Dakota, tornadoes can and will occur in every state in between and around occasionally.

With this many hurricanes this year so far, I hope the Midwest doesn't experience the same. I'll still take earthquakes anyday over funnels.

Step 3: Buy lots of insurance that covers Natural Disasters.

For what some people are paying for an apartment in say NY, here that would buy you a huge house with land

so any folks there built a bunker ontop of their houses?

I'm guessing the bunker needs to be deep and the top has to have strong support in case the house on top collapse.

Step one... Protect family....

Step two....re read step one.


Insurance is your answer.

Word. Blizzards don't destroy houses.

I often forget just how far south the "Midwest" goes. So I guess what I meant was move to the Upper Midwest or "Great Lakes States." That's where it's at.

There are many areas in the world that aren't at risk of forest fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters. I remember living on the coast and seeing people boarding up and evacuating during a potential hurricane. I thought it couldn't be that bad. But then I researched past disasters and yes I got why they were afraid. But at that moment I concluded that even if you love the area you live in. Do you really want to just take your family and abandon your home leaving your collection if disaster arrives? I think not.

What I would do if I wanted to live in a disaster prone area is have it be a second home. Have your figures, comics, comic art, etc. away from those areas. After all, the best way to protect something is not to put it at risk.
