How does it look where you look - what factors do you have to look out for?
Here in FL, our biggest threat is a hurricane. However, we're pretty inland, so really, we'd just see high winds and a lot of rain from most storms. Sometimes you'll hear about tornadoes here (usually from a severe storm or tropical one), but even those are usually only F1 or F2, so not too horrible.
Mostly, the storms have 3 issues. Power is usually out for hours. Rain is constant so halts activity. Wind can make some mess and pose threats to windows, etc. All 3 of these are pretty easy to mitigate.
My personal factor is that even though we are rural, we aren't THAT far from the Interstate, or from the outskirts of town. At least it isn't that large of a city, but still, in a SHTF scenario, we would see visitors fairly soon after folks flee the cities.
However, some big advantages include: no harsh winters (only a few days where near freezing temp), lots of rain (so water), excellent agricultural area, far enough away from any major nuke target or nuclear reactor, lots of available game nearby (fish, birds, snakes, frogs, rabbits, boars, possum, raccoons, etc.)
