The blizzard was very bad yes. Many died in it. Found them frozen to death in cars. We had snow drifts 20 feet tall. They had to take a long time to clear roads using bucket lifts and plows. Walk along the roads on top of snow and use pipes to check for cars below them in the snow. A mess....

That's really something else.
Nature in North America is in many ways more fierce and extreme than in Europe. There are earthquakes and volcanoes in some parts of Europe but other than that nature is much more tame here.
I think so yes. USA has many problem areas.
Western NY State is not too bad usually. You just learn to live with snow.
These events are too much however and even driving on a little snow can kill you.
You need to be careful and you can be blinded quickly by snow this way.
USA has tornadoes all through the center of the nation. Once Xenia Ohio had something like 75 tornadoes in one day.
Hurricanes get you all along the Gulf of Mexico so say Texas all the way around to Florida.
And California has earth quakes and as we see now forest or brush fires.

Maybe the least problematic area is the Pacific Northwest. The Pacific Northwest has a mild climate and Mt. Rainier is dormant and not a source of any concern to my knowledge. Or perhaps Hawaii, too. Eastern and Central Pacific tend to have colder surface water than Western Pacific.
Yes Oregon and Washington State are nice. Rains a lot but the climate is not so bad for you. Clean air and it is not like the desert states which are too dry.
They don't get too much snow or freezing so it is much better. Summers are nice there too.
This might be a problem again:

And as if all that is not enough, there is the needless harms USA State(s) do to their own children and peoples.
