Get Real!
This is such BS, this lists the primary threats being Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Hail, Wind, and Drought? REALLY??? PLEASE!!! Austin has a higher risk rating than Anchorage, Alaska? Hmmm which one of these cities had a 9.2 mega-earthquake, Forest Fire(s), Typhoon remnant induced flooding, hurricane force wind storms every January called Chinooks and has had dozens of major air crashes in the past 50 years?
From the graphics you would think tornados are the most destructive force known to mankind. Flooding makes the list far higher in my book. Austin has never had a recorded earthquake, tornado's generally happen to the north near Buda, and Hurricanes are spent by the time they hit the Hill Country, so I'm still baffled at how Austin risks are higher than Anchorage, Alaska, the Hurricane Coast, or California.
Like I said i think the data is skewed to make the mid-South look bad and the result is B.S.
