re: #426 Dr Lizardo

When I lived up in the Northwest, we worried most about a megathrust earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone. That would be a whopper; somewhere in the 8.0 to 9.0 magnitude range.

And that would truly suck; there would be a hell of a lot of damage and a sizeable death toll as well.

Lived in CA 1960-62 and went through a couple of light ones; I disliked CA intensely, but not because of that. We have nothing here like that, just the occasional threat of a tornado which I’ve never seen in this area of NC. Heavy winds sometimes taking down a few trees, but it’s mostly calm around here as far as natural disasters are concerned. Whew.
