[quote=Anonymous]I’ll take two hurricanes a year over the possibility of an earthquake at any time. I grew up Manteo, NC, and I’ve ridden out more hurricanes than I can remember growing up, and later in life because of what I do for a living. Hurricanes are predictable, they give you warning, and you can prepare for them or leave. There’s wind, there’s flooding, there’s power outages/interruptions for a couple weeks, but all that stuff can be planned for ahead of time. Unless you get a truly direct-hit from a legit Cat 4-5 storm, most of the time damage is minor or even nothing on a well-made home. I remember the earthquake we had here, and that was something I’d never encountered before, and freaked me the F out, even though it was relatively minor. Having never experienced one before, it is not something I ever want to go through again. [/quote]
