We're #11!
A web site that is dedicated to "healthy and sustainable living", www.SustainLane.com, has compiled a list of the top 50 U.S. cities based on their risk of natural disasters. The site takes into consideration hurricanes, hail, tornadoes and earthquakes and ranks each city based on the amount of damage they can cause.
Miami, FL topped the list based on their hurricane threat. New Orleans came in #2, followed by Oakland, CA and San Francisco, both at risk from earthquakes. Honolulu rounded out the top 5, due to their earthquake, tsunami and storm surge flooding threats. Tied for #50 in the list are Mesa, AZ and Milwaukee, WI.
Oklahoma City comes in at #11.
