And those are mostly places that are terrible for hurricanes....that discounts the South's increased tornado, forest fire, and flood rates.
Compared to natural disasters in the South, blizzards in New England are nothing. They rarely cause deaths; and when they do, it's because people are dumb enough to go out driving during the storm.
New England is absolutely
not worse off in terms of natural disasters; Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island have the lowest fatality rates in the nation.
Educate yourself, my friend.
