[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll add that there are fault lines all over the area. The Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989 was a surprise - the faults that get the most attention are San Andreas and Hayward. You will experience earthquakes if you live there; you just hope they're smaller than 5.0.

OP, ask about earthquake insurance.  I'm pretty sure you can't get it in the Bay Area, or it's prohibitively expensive. [/quote]

Eh, take your gamble on which will hit first, another attack on DC or earthquake in Bay Area. Every place has its long tail risk.[/quote]

This..exactly.  I lived in CA for about 38 yrs and have only experienced 2 "big" earthquakes, but our house was ok.  Most of the bldgs in CA are designed to withstand a largish earthquake.  Can the "big one" hit in the near future?  Sure...but as PP stated, most places have some form of natural disasters.  CA doesn't get big earthquakes every year, unlike hurricanes in the East coast that happen every year, albeit may not directly be in path to DC.

Most people in CA do not have earthquake ins...too expensive.

When we decided to move to DC area I did worry about terrorist attacks to the area here.  Can't stop living.[/quote]
