Don't think you're too safe in the southwest....just published last week:

"for all the attention garnered by catastrophic hurricanes such as Katrina and Andrew, simple heatwaves kill far more people than all natural disasters combined, according to a newly published county-by-county map of natural hazard deaths..." See the map:

Roswell GA, Orem Ut and Overland Park Kansas are probably all safer than El Paso. They also have the lowest crime rates- El Paso may be safe for a large city but those places have way less crime. Less traffic accidents per capita too.

I'd rather live in El Paso... Then again I love wandering the slums of Buffalo, Cincy Pittsburgh looking at old buildings and my friends in those towns usually won't go with me. Detroit is fascinating - so many old ruins- safe - no

It doesn't get that hot here. Without the humidity, the heat here is mild. I don't use air conditioners, you don't need more than a ceiling fan here and it rarely gets over 100 degrees.

Having the swamp coolers becomes a problem during July and August when the rain comes. As soon as it gets humid, they stop working and there is no relief
