The weather
Here is what terrible things never happen in Chicago: hurricanes, mud- and landslides, tornados, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, wildfires, earthquakes, long-lived droughts. The only bad weather to cope with is several months of very cold temperatures which the right clothing can handle (mostly). Oh, and we have all the water we need from the Great Lakes…. so never thirsty.
