No hurricanes make it here.
They don't make it to Brooklyn either
Yes, there'll be an anomaly like Sandy, but even that had virtually no impact in Brooklyn outside of the areas right on the coast e.g. Seagate
I don't really understand the data they're using for this exactly, although I'm sure CLE scores a little higher on paper, I highly doubt there's much of a noticeable real-life difference.
Also, it seems like the tornado risk in CLE is slightly higher than the hurricane risk to Brooklyn.
ETA: my point is this list is kinda silly. Once you're talking about places that aren't in a real danger zone the differences are going to be inconsequential and the rankings don't mean much.
