Safe against earthquakes? -No.
Safe against a malicious server admin? -No
Safe against a man in the middle? Yes, but only under certain
circumstances.
Never say something is generally safe (or secure). Always mention which
risk it is protected against.

HTTPS encapsulates the complete HTTP traffic in an SSL (strictly
speaking: TLS) connection. So no, a man-in-the-middle cannot see which
URL you requested and he cannot see the server's response.
What HTTPS doesn't hide is who is talking to whom, the time the
communication takes place and what amount of data is transferred. If you
need that, use Tor.
