We are at 1,200 feet above sea level and 600 miles from the ocean with the Arbuckle mountain range between the ocean and us. Asteroid strikes are more likely than tsunamis for me.

Oklahoma had a series of earthquakes from oil well waste water disposal wells and everyone started asking questions about earthquake insurance. It has to be pretty catastrophic earthquake damage to be covered if we even had it, and we don't. The disposal wells were stopped or slowed way down and the earthquakes dissipated. We had no damage at all from the biggest of the quakes.

We are on top of a gently sloping hill, made of clay for at lease 200+ feet deep. No possibility of a sinkhole or flood. We indeed have coverage from fires, even wildfires, and those are unlikely. We have some trees, but no one would call it a forest. Tornadoes are the biggest threat, but they are very low probability.

We have a normal household policy, and no association to dictate maintenance of the house. Just our own funds to pay for it, but no condo association fees to pay.

I just can't imagine having everything but the clothes I am wearing gone. All our possessions and the home just gone. One has to feel sympathy for them, and they are the lucky ones that are still alive.
