Probably as safe a location as any accessible by navigable
water on the east coast.

Yeah, but they're not on the east coast... officially...

Besides, they still get hurricanes. Hurricane Hugo, long
time ago now but still vivid in memory, hit Lake Norman with
great damage to property including sinking a lot of boats.
A lot of Gulf hurricanes end up hitting the Ohio & Tennessee
valleys.

Earthquakes, hurricanes... at least we don't have plagues of
locusts any more...
