(+) Yeah! (+)

but only once

Get rid of hurricanes.

I want to move back to florida at some point, which doesn't get blizzards or earthquakes.
---

Asia already gets hurricanes twice as powerful as ours.
---

I'm out of range of most of these things, living in Missouri, but I'd get rid of earthquakes. If tornadoes were an option, I'd pick those, even though I live in an area sandwiched by hills and not especially vulnerable to 'nadoes.

I'm picking earthquakes simply because they're the least common.

Easy pick hurricanes.

most earthquakes are very small, so the odds are a doubled one will still be small. And the next American snowstorm is probably in northern Alaska, so it shouldn't impact many people at all.

earthquakes since where I live we don't get blizzards or hurricanes
---

Hurricanes.

Arizona here

picking earthquakes so that the cold waves will be twice as cold and maybe it'll snow for once
---

I wanna move up north.
---

Does America get every natural disaster?

A double power earthquake wouldn't be much higher on the scale they use to rate them. A double power hurricane could be really, really bad. Not sure what double power cold wave or blizzard would be. Anyways, I live in Florida, so I'm picking no hurricanes.

I don't live in a place that gets any of those, but if I had to pick then hurricanes since maybe one day I'll move to the east coast.

Hurricanes. Doubling earthquakes is like a 0.2 increase on the magnitude scale and blizzard likely means no evacuation and higher chance of getting a day off if you can afford it.

Hurricanes are the number one reason I refuse to live along or near the coastline, but if I were to eradicate them from existence then I'd fear how it would affect our climate in the long run.
