After all, how far inland could a hurricane go?

I'm pretty sure there is nowhere in the entire universe you can go that wouldn't be subject to some kind of natural disaster except maybe the voids. The big swaths of space with literally nothing in them? But then you'd just be subject to man-made disasters like your space ship/station crumbling to pieces due to poor maintenance or someone going space crazy and murdering everyone aboard.
Even then you might get obliterated by a GRB from some far-off solar system.
Voids can get randomly blasted by gamma ray bursts. Just like Earth!
"just move away from natural disaster areas libtard"
"Noooo why are people moving here! We can't have immigrants here! Move back to your natural disaster areas!"
I live in a very stable area that's only had a single major natural disaster and that was a tornado that struck 70 years ago. The local chemical plants are more likely to blow up or something than for a natural disaster to harm us.
New England is pretty chill. Well, like anywhere with flowing water some regions are flood risks, but that is all very predictable if you go in looking for that info. Aside from that the worst you can count on is snow and ice storms. But at least property damage is usually low, just gaps without power in some areas. Frozen pipes are more preventable, but also more likely to cause significant damage. We do technically get some little earthquakes. And I think once a year or so tornados do happen, but the last time I remember one causing real damage I was in high-school. We actually were going to an event in Colorado and we flew over the storm system that would result in the tornado. That was like.... God around 20 years ago T_T
