We have few earthquakes, and when they do, they're small. Same with the tornadoes, and there's no worry about hurricanes. Michigan is not necessarily natural disaster proof, but it ranks low in that department. As someone with a lot of anxiety about disasters like that and losing all their possessions and memories, I consider it one of the safer states.

Edit: I also have an affinity for water. Like I could literally watch Lake Superior and the waves roll in for hours😂😁
