Denver response
I don't know that this is my most important determining factor, but it does at least help to sway me against it when my husband argues for moving to a coast and I know the worst I've seen here is a flash flood every fifteen years and an occasional tornado that hits a couple of blocks out of the entire city. Oh, and one earthquake that was a level 4 thirty-some years ago. Ice storms, massive flooding, ocean storm systems and so forth certainly do pop up in my mind when he talks about moving back East, alongside population density, cost of living and various smaller concerns. I like living where the weather doesn't usually try to kill me.
