   I realize that southern Ontario doesn't qualify since it is not in the US, but   
   is is relatively hazard free. The last bad blizzard we had was almost 30 years   
   ago.  Every ten years or so there is a small hurricane that comes along and   
   knocks over a few trees and takes off a roof . The last hurricane that hit here   
   with any force was Hurricane Hazel in 1954. We don't get volcanos, earthquakes,   
   floods.  It doesn't get extremely hot or extremely cold.  It's pretty safe and   
   boring. Most of us are doomed to die of old age.
