Hurricanes, sinkholes, tornadoes, oh my

Hollywood directors who seek locations for apocalyptic movies filled with natural disasters would apparently discover a gem in Florida.

The state, according to a new report from real estate analytics and data firm CoreLogic, has the highest level of risk exposure to multiple natural hazards. So high, actually, the next closest states, Rhode Island, Louisiana and California, are 15 points behind the Sunshine State on the CoreLogic Hazard Risk Score.

A state's score, says CoreLogic, is derived from an analytics tool that measures overall natural hazard risk from data based on nine natural hazards: flood, wildfire, tornado, storm surge, earthquake, straight-line wind, hurricane wind, hail and sinkhole. Each state received a score that ranged from 0 to 100 based on the level of composite risk exposure.

Florida scored a red-hot 94.51 on the survey. On the opposite spectrum are states with the lowest level of risk exposure to multiple natural hazards, a list that includes Michigan, West Virginia and New York.

“Florida's high level of risk is driven by the potential for hurricane winds and storm surge damage along its extensive Atlantic and Gulf coastline, as well as the added potential for sinkholes, flooding and wildfires,” says CoreLogic Spatial Solutions Vice President and Chief Scientist Howard Botts in the release. “Michigan alternatively ranks low for most natural hazard risks, other than flooding.”

Nervous Floridians can take solace in one fact: The state is at low risk for earthquakes.

Here's a glance the top five sates for the highest risk and lowest risk.
