My sister said something very eloquent about that, just yesterday: "I'd rather live with the occasional earthquake than with weather that is actively trying to kill you."
She wasn't even talking about hurricanes and tornadoes, really: no, she meant just plain winter in places where it snows and freezes and you can get cut off from everything. People die every year from Just Plain Winter; a lot more, all told, then quakes kill.
(Summer heat in places like Arizona also counts as "actively trying to kill you".)
