Hurricanes and Earthquakes.
The Pacific Northwest gets its winter wind storms which often reach Hurricane winds, 75 mph or higher. We occassionally get a tornado but only every ten or fifteen years. Been through quite a few 5.1 quakes. That's a little one. We had a gully washer here a couple of years ago, now that is scary. Six inches of rain in a half hour. Everything was flooded and mud slides covered roads and railroads. Small creeks and rivers flooded almost instantly. I didn't like that at all. I wouldn't want to live in the mid-west with those tornados I think that would be more scary than an earthquake.
