We also don't have to worry about hurricanes or tornadoes. And our thunderstorms generally have 10-12 booms without any visible lightning and then move on. The worst we have is the occasional earthquake, but it sounds like fracking has brought that particular joy to Texas and Oklahoma anyway, and volcano which generally give you some warning.

We had the occasional earthquake before fracking.
I don't have to worry about hurricanes per se being 500 miles from the coast, although several years ago, the storm associated with a hurricane did hit us. We thought it was just a storm until a friend called to make sure we were ok because they had seen it on the weather channel.
