Tornadoes are pretty rare (and localized) outside of certain areas. Blizzards--other than a bad one if you live on the coast--are mostly a stay at home until it's over event. Hurricanes/floods are definitely in the southeast and can come up the coast as in Sandy. But this again mostly involves having a house somewhere that's not overly exposed to flooding if there's a lot of rain.

But yes. There's some balancing of unlikely but major natural disasters and fairly routine bad weather events.

From a natural disaster perspective you're probably best off in the desert Southwest.
