California lost almost 19,000 structures in 2018; 5,600 in 2017; you get the point, over 1,000 structures per year in at least 15 separate years due to forest fires. Most of the state is in a "mega drought", and they are 200 years overdue for "the big one". It seems like all the disasters on record for Hawaii don't compare to a single year in California.
In 2014 a mudslide unexpectedly buried a neighborhood in Washington, killing 43 people. Nobody saw it coming. It wasn't in a lava zone, flood plain, or an area known to have tornados or hurricanes. There is risk everywhere.
