[quote=Anonymous]earthquake--no question--especially if it's somewhere like Oregon or Washington where they happen very rarely but are still part of the ring of fire. SoCal might be a tougher sell because the quakes are more frequent, but also because of the incessant wildfire issues. But really, earthquakes are NBD--you have a go bag and the ability to take care of yourself for a while and odds are you can shelter in place--especially if your house has been seismically retrofitted which many have (it keeps the house from falling into the basement.) It's big business right now. Anyway, it's untrue that there is no warning. They have meters all over the place monitoring seismic activity and they can usually tell by that if a bigger one is coming. Hurricanes are a yearly season and you can lose everything year after year. There's no earthquake season.[/quote]
