Surge prediction has been bumped up to 10-15ft. Fuuuck. Glad we're far enough in land that that's a concern for us.

This is going to be the real problem. This and all the people who refused to replace their 15+ year old roofs because "it's fine."

Phoenix claims to have no natural disaster risks outside of fire, which is baseline everywhere. While wildfire risks are low, idiot's setting shit on fire is always a risk. Monsoons bring floods, but AFAIK, the chances those actually breach the "dry" river runs are close to zero. Dumb people still die because they think they can drive through the river beds for the 3 days they actually have water in them.
Pretty much everywhere from the Rockies to the Atlantic has at least a chance of Tornados. In much of the Rockies you have higher wildfire chances, avalanche chances, flood chances, and, in some parts, earthquakes. Then of course the West coast has it's plethora of problems.
Edit: Albuquerque and Tucson may be in that same boat, but never looked at them.

I wouldn't count on that. The current models were 3 levels off. They have no idea what will happen.

Wonder what the odds are that one of those doppler pulses will pop on the feed and the shear will suddenly dissipate and this thing will become SSJ Milton, Breaker of Panhandles.

Might be confusing surge for waves. I just happened to be looking at information for Ivan's storm surge earlier today and it says this about it:
When Ivan entered the Gulf of Mexico, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory ocean-floor pressure sensors detected a freak wave, which was caused by the hurricane. The wave was around 91 feet (28 m) high from peak to trough, and around 660 feet (200 m) long. Their computer models also indicated that waves may have exceeded 130 feet (40 m) in the eyewall.
