Fire season. Tornado season. Hurricane season. Flooding season. Seems like there’s a season for everything here in America, doesn’t it?
Because of our unique geographical and meteorological situation, the United States is a sitting duck for natural weather phenomena. Tornadoes thrive here, hurricanes steer here, it rains a ton and the west coast is set up perfectly for hot, windy fire seasons every fall.

This channel is about America!
The best video on this topic!
Of all countries with the MOST natural disasters, only China and India have more of them. Why? Just like us, these countries have large populations on the coast, and are prone to earthquakes, tropical storms and flooding.
Sort of just bad luck in terms of where you’re located on the planet I suppose.
Anyways, we’re talking about OUR country, so back to that. Here in the US, when you’re measuring the total number of natural disasters, there are ten states which are responsible for a third of disasters and damages. Of course, many of these will be the biggest states and the most populated states, but there’s some surprises in here too.
We’ll be talking about states like Texas, California, Florida and more.

Your list is false and pathetic. Louisiana should be like rank 2. Or even 1. Complete and total BS. I sure hope this is your opinion because it sure isnt facts
Good thing Tennessee or North Carolina are not on the list (or did I miss one of those?). I'm looking to move to either east Tennessee or western North Carolina, haven't decided which yet. I know they both can occasionally get tornadoes and floods but I would hate to find out one of those areas is constantly plagued by natural disasters. That would be a deal breaker.
You left out a major category – Political disasters. Far worse than any natural disaster because they can last a very long time just look at California.
What state do you live in Nick
Ready set aim fire
Wisconsin is Definitely far from off limits!! History in the making!! Literally.
Love revelations!!
Noooo!!!! 🤭 Number one on this video was my number one place to go to if I could move from Australia to America. Bugger!
Well, at least I can add that link as a part of my research resources to eventually work out which state is best for my standards.
Even Australia does have its own fair share (the country as a whole), especially in Queensland where we have fires cyclones, tornadoes, droughts, Frost and then we have political social problems like the highest unemployment in the country and other unnecessary problems, plus we’re broke.
Pretty sure that's an iphone 6
Yankeeland.
I will say Texas because a lot of tornado and i live in California and it not bad here earthquake is not going bad it just small because scientist said if we get small earthquake it only our good tsunami did came in the only thing i worries is just fires rain doesn't matter it find the rain in California thunder Strom is not bad from here out volcano never erupt before but I'm just gonna say Texas because it might be dangerous from tornado of gulf of Mexico because tornadoes alley
Wow Nick, I had no idea you're psychic! I was just about to suggest content for natural disasters, and bam! there it is in my suggested videos… and you posted it a year ago. You got mad skills 👏👏👏 🤣
Can you make a video about all the places you have lived?
I was 3 miles from the epicenter of the ‘89 quake, that was not fun!
KATRINA CAME TWO TOWN IN NEW ORLEANS
I get such a kick out of Christians who believe that natural disasters are a sign that Jeebus be comin back!
In SC we’ve been lucky, for sure! The hurricanes are sometimes forecasted to hit SC then it scurries up to NC & we just get lots of wind & rain!
Have you seen florence
El reno
Masky
I knew that California and Texas would be #1 and #2,
You really helped me with my tornado phobia because I'm not in this list.
Is there an all above option
Nick I'm ur biggest fans though I'm not from the us…. I'm from Imphal,Manipur,India…..👍👍👍👍👍
Mappy is a wealth of information great video
I love your channel Nick. I just wanted you to know.
name of background music? it sounds rlly nice
"Wind and the snow, where can you go? NOWHERE" 😂
Louisiana should of been number 3. They got hit by 6 hurricanes in 2020. And everyone I've talked too says and knows Louisiana is the worst state for hurricanes and most likely for sure the worst area to even have a house. Louisiana for sure outranks Oklahoma. Louisiana was also ranked the worst state in the country due to Poverty. Murder rate. And Natural disaster risk.
I endured a wi d storm in michigan in a mobile home 99 mile winds
We got hit by a tornado in 2018 and 2019 in Celina Ohio. Everyone was hoping the school would get wiped out but it didn't. We've been trying to pass a levee for a new school for a while now
South carolinas does
Michigan just gets snow storms and tornados
Carolinas just had tornados
I survived Texas ^^ I sometimes think of moving back, but then they get another devastating event, and I'm like nope lol
Too late Texas got hit with the blizzard
I knew Oklahoma would be on here
6:38 oh yeah, Russia!
Good thing that rains are friendly
Interesting but at 14:30, the hurricane is spinning the wrong direction for the Northern Hemisphere.
Surprised you didn't mention the time when Karen asked Mappy "What is the worst natural disaster in American history" and he said "our marriage." OUCH
When you live in texas but you only have experienced one hurricane, few thunderstorms, and droughts for your whole life:
HOW ARE WE NUMBER 1.
Oh wait i have in the valley not in upper texas °~°
