Re: [iPad] OT Hurricane Sandy

 

I agree with Ed.

I live in an earthquake area, 11000 aftershocks after a 7.1 2 yearsd ago, and 4 over 6, many many over 5, and all local and shallow. In fact the 6.3 we has had one of the highest ground acceleration figures at 2.2g

Having seen floods in Australia and the US, let alone hurricane or super storms, I'd live in a EQ area any day

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.

The government subsidized insurance as I read it. Insurance made it ok to live below sea level. Inevitable is a word that comes to mind.

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
