(if they choose.)

That just looks horrible.

Responses:

even with tornadoes, you get more warning than something like an earthquake. So by those calcs, the west coast is the worst place. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 07:07 7
- Yeah, I will take our earthquakes over the tornadoes -- nm - Bacon May 23, 07:09 6
  - I'll take neither, thank you. - JaxSean May 23, 07:38
  - see I'm the opposite and it is for the reason you said - I grew up with tornados - earthquakes scare me to death -- nm - Epiphany May 23, 07:23
  - really? they affect far more people. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 07:10 3
    - I think there is less fear of the familiar. It's not necessarily rational. -- nm - psilotum May 23, 07:19 1
      - that's what I'm thinking. I've read that snowstorms kill far more people than any of those kinds of disasters, but no one in the northeast - loosilu May 23, 07:20
    - I have only been in one over mag 7 a bunch of smaller ones. Some 5's. - Bacon May 23, 07:13
