UConn James Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Laughed my butt off when I read this b/c I was thinking about my area the whole time. We get the occassional storms and all, but it's rare that anything serious ever hits. Link After much debate, then, we settled on Slate's "America's Best Place to Avoid Death Due to Natural Disaster": the area in and around Storrs, Conn., home to the University of Connecticut. It lies in Tolland County, which was not part of the 1999 federal disaster declaration for Tropical Storm Floyd. It's a safe 50 miles from the sound and not close to any rivers. It also has relatively easy access to a major city (Hartford) in the event an evacuation or hospitalization becomes necessary.
