Every city on the west coast of the US is at risk from the San Andreas Fault. Every city on the East coast is a risk from a tsunami from the collapse of a known undersea cliff formation near the Canary Islands. New Orleans is ... well ...

Sorry, guys, but the only safe place is in fact Ohio.

Which is the home of the Davis-Besse nuclear power plant with both a hole in its containment dome AND a known Three Mile Island problem. But it continued operating anyway because mistakes in OH are acceptable.

Or First Energy whose operations were so hazardous as to creat the entire NE blackout from Michigan and Indiana, through Ontario, and all of New York. First Energy happened when bean counters bought Dayton Electric, Todelo Edison, Penn Electric, and soon Allegheny Energy. First Energy also owns Three Mile Island.

Otherwise OH is a safer place.
