I live in New York, so natural disasters are pretty rare other than the random hurricane, though I have experienced about four earthquakes (though mild) in my lifetime, and once a tornado came through my neighborhood.

Blizzards / nor’easters and ice storms happen in NY, in addition to some gnarly microburst storms. My worst was when a microburst hit CNY and delayed my start to high school as there was no power and trees were down everywhere for a couple days.
