Safety: 10 best/worst places to live in the US
Links 09/06/2005 |MSNBC crunched some numbers to come up with lists of the ten safest and most dangerous places to live in the US in terms of weather and natural disasters.
The ten safest:
- Honolulu, Hawaii
- Boise City, Idaho
- Santa Fe, N.M.
- Yakima, Wash.
- Spokane, Wash.
- Richland-Kennewick-Pasco, Wash.
- Medford-Ashland, Ore.
- Corvallis, Ore.
- Salem, Ore.
- Las Cruces, N.M.
And the ten most risky:
- Monroe, La.
- Dallas, Tex.
- Jackson, Miss.
- Lakeland-Winter Haven, Fla.
- West Palm Beach-Boca Raton, Fla.
- Kansas City, Mo.
- Elkhart-Goshen, Ind.
- Tulsa, Okla.
- Memphis, Tenn.
- Shreveport-Bossier City, La.
The Pacific Northwest seems to be a pretty good bet, all told, with six locations on the list, three in WA and three in OR…seven, if you count ID as part of the PNW. Amusingly, though, one of the WA locations is the Tri-Cities area, home to the Hanford Nuclear Reservation — but as the Seattle PI points out, these are lists looking at natural disasters.

Hello:
For the life of me…why do you and numerous other web-sites choose to use such miniscule print when creating the information on your site. Why “shoot yourself in the proverbial foot” when choosing to do this. Your time and talent are beyond question…until it comes to this sore point.
Now knowing what I know about your site, ie, the tiny illegible crabbed print that I must use a micron microscope to decipher, I most assuredly will not seek it out again. In fact, I will avoid it like the proverbial “Black Death”.
Anyway…do you get the point?
