RE: EARTHQUAKE
IDK, I've been in a few tornado's (living in the Midwest will do that for ya) and they aren't much fun. Yes, you have an idea that one COULD happen because of the storm fronts. But with as many storms as we have around here from April-Sept you never know. Unfortunately we get a little complacent about it after we've had a few storms and nothing happens. The other problem is that for some reason they usually happen in the middle of the night. THAT'S when it gets you, you hear the siren's and roll over and go back to sleep because nothing happened the last 4 times that thing went off.
Not taking anything away from your earthquakes, you can keep them!

I dunno, I was born in the SF Bay Area and even remember the '89 that hit the world series. Knocked me on my knees. I guess the difference for me over tornados or hurricanes is that an earthquake happens so rare that you can basically live your life with the "chance" it may happen this year, which they have been saying for at least the last 10 years.

RE: EARTHQUAKE
We had 17 aftershocks apparently, the biggest being this morning at 1:00 AM at 4.2 to 4.5 magnitude. They keep talking about how strange it is and all of the geologists not understand what's going on.
I look at all the arguements, but I'll still take earthquakes over tornados. I've lived through one, and even though it was minor, I never want to experience that again, especially when I was on my bicycle when it happened
You guys are welcome to 'em

RE: EARTHQUAKE
I have to say that an earthquake is the only one that I haven't been through. Well, I was back in my early teens. There was a small one here in Ohio, but I never felt anything. I just remember them making a big deal out of it.
HG, a seismologist was on the news the other night talking about how we have a major fault under us here and that there will be big "Northridge" size quake sometime. They just have no idea when.
