Alice, if you live in N.Cal 2 hours from SF, unless right up the coast, you probably have no problem. I lived most of my life in N.Cal about 2 hours from SF and never had any concerns, although we 'felt' many quakes from nearby areas. I never really felt the Loma Prieta quake when that one occurred in 89 . If you live in a stick built house of fairly modern construction, you're probably quite safe. Personally, I consider living in a flood prone area is far more risky than living in Earthquake territory, assuming your housing is appropriately constructed. It's all in the 'odds' I guess.

I understand that, Ed. Some would say, why risk moving to earthquake country too. Olive in northern CA, 2 hrs from SF.

Fully agree with that! Why people chose to ignore the risks in moving to such places boggles the mind. New Orleans is a primo example. Who would chose to live in such a place with so much land BELOW sea level
