Much like Los Angeles, Atlanta has a downtown of their own similar to LA in the sense that large buildings take up the space in the vicinity. Businesses and banks own the majority of the large buildings and the skyline is beautiful at night as well.
There is however, a big difference when it comes to natural disasters. For example, Atlanta is prone to have thunderstorms and heavy showers and precipitation. But the major natural disaster present in California are Earthquakes. Huge record breaking earthquakes have occured in San Francisco as well as Northridge.
I remember the Northridge earthquake like it was yesterday. It was the reason I now live in my present address. There are many faults and plate movements that make California a hazard to have another major earthquake. The same can not be said about Atlanta who although, is not completely free of earthquakes but is far from a disasterous one.
