> I was living in Georgia when CNN's building in downtown was hit by a tornado.

How many people died? How many billions of damage occurred?

Of course stuff happens, there are also minor earthquakes. But I think the point upstream is to avoid massive events. A tornado downtown every decade that does a few million in damage is very different than a 1% chance the city is destroyed.
