I have been through several blizzards, two ice storms, a couple of earthquakes including the big 1989 one, a couple of hurricanes, two tropical storms, one cyclone, a hailstorm (where hail was nearly size of golf balls, wrecking our Jeep Wrangler), invasion by crickets, a flood, and a couple of tornadoes. We have lost countless trees. Yet I am glad I lived in all of these places including three times in Florida because of the variety of lifestyles, beauty, different peoples, seasonal changes, different plants, different topography, wonderful "Sunday drives" where we spend a day or two exploring places we have not been to, learning history, and so on.
