Of course, that only applies to things that can (sort of) be predicted like earthquakes. In addition to California, the Northwest is expected to have a big quake.
“Based on historical averages, Goldfinger says the southern end of the fault—from about Newport, Ore., to northern California—has a 37 percent chance of producing a major earthquake (8.0 or greater in magnitude) in the next 50 years. The odds that a mega-quake will hit the northern segment, from Seaside, Ore., to Vancouver Island in British Columbia, are more like 10 to 15 percent (9.0 or greater).
“Perhaps more striking than the probability numbers is that we can now say that we have already gone longer without an earthquake than 75 percent of the known times between earthquakes in the last 10,000 years,” Goldfinger said. “And 50 years from now, that number will rise to 85 percent.” Science Daily
There are tornado areas where the possibility of a tornado occurring is great, but the warning time is very short and hurricane areas which cover a vast stretch of the country and the warning is only a few days.
