re: #103 srb1976

Yeesh, earthquakes are the ones that scare me….course, the last one we had here I slept through….probably just as well
(Hope you get through it unscathed)

When I lived in California, I looked over the various natural disasters and decided I liked earthquakes the best. Think about it:

Hurricanes: Weeks of anticipation, and then either nothing or a day or 2 of sheer horror
Floods: Weeks
Volcanic eruptions: Years (Kilauea erupted on January 3, 1983, and it hasn’t stopped yet!)

Earthquakes: Seconds (The 1989 earthquake lasted for 15 seconds, and everyone kept remarking how long that was!)
