Moral of my story is.......where is it totally safe?

The big difference is most people can buy insurance to protect themselves against natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, etc.
In the case of sinkholes, insurance is very limited and even if you can buy it, the deductable can run several thousand dollars depending on the value of your property.
