[quote=Anonymous]This is a question about how you tolerate uncertainty. In hurricane country you can expect multiple hurricanes every year, and the intensity is increasing. It's a near certainty you will have to deal with a serious storm. But, they don't sneak up on you. In earthquake country, serious damaging quakes are rare (little ones are common). But, you don't know when the big one will hit and you can't control whether you'll be in a safe place when it does. Playing the odds, earthquake country is safer. You may never encounter a big one and you don't waste half your year watching the weather and planning to evacuate. But you do have to just live with the risk.[/quote]
