I have family who moved to Miami to ditch the earthquake thing....shortly after they were rocked the fuck by one of those lovely hurricanes.
Give me an earthquake over a hurricane any day. People in the south live with hurricanes like its no big deal... when an earthquake hits we stop, look around, and usually just go back to what we were doing. Yeah there is sometimes damage, but at least its nothing even slightly comparable to the yearly hurricane season.
although spooky things like a crazy storm sound somewhat exciting
If half the people in California were to disappear, it would be soooo much better. Make that 75%.
