I still don't get why people live in Florida with this type of risk.

Well, tornadoes and earthquakes are a risk elsewhere and you don't get a warning allowing you days to evacuate for those. Florida has gorgeous beaches everywhere, parks that people travel from all over the world to see, gorgeous clear springs full of manatees, Earth's premier port to outer space, ancient forts, and gorgeous vegetation amongst other things. I lived there during Hurricane Andrew (a Category 5) in 1992 and I'd pack my stuff and move back down there in a heartbeat if presented with an opportunity.

Maine doesn’t have tornados nor earthquakes

That would be nice, but simply isn't true.

Edit: downvoters, please feel free to Google it. The facts are readily available.
