[spoiler]Only C is parallel with 'killer blizzards wrack the East Coast'. IMO C[/spoiler]

But somehow the main clause of sentence 'Every region faces it potential disasters' does not appear correct. What does IT refers to: only possibility is region, but in such a case sentence will become non-sensical.

can we discuss
