Places in the U.S. Where Disaster Strikes Again and Again

Northern New England is in general a pretty safe place to live, as long as you can deal with a little bit of snow or an ice storm once a decade. There's water enough that forest fires are a rarity, tornados are very rare, hurricanes usually have played themselves out by the time they make it this far, and there are no volcanoes. There are earthquakes pretty frequently, but they're such small magnitude that I mistake them for the Amtrak going by[1].

Hahahah, that's great. I actually found out about the earthquake before it happened, on Twitter, so I actually knew it was an earthquake, but still. Had to check the date though, I didn't think it was 6 years ago, felt more like 3!

Even Connecticut is pretty safe, as long as you stay away from the coast.
