My view is still the same, a major eathquake or hell even a tsunami can and will hit the west coast.
the funny thing is no one disagree's that an earthquake is going to hit, so it must just be me you don't like?
How about one time I post something and we run with it instead of trying to tear down everything I say, or am I not allowed to have my own views and must be pushed down at every oppertunity?
here lets try this -
Do major Earthquakes give a warring?
Can people die from Earthquakes?
It really sucks to be put in a possion where I have to be on the defence while 5 poeple take jabs at me for a little statment, "the west is no safer with the earth quakes and all, that have no warning! ", it really gets old |
I will agree that the "5000 year old" crack by Kevin was uncalled for. This wasn't a religious debate.
My point about the eartquakes was simply that even though there's no warning, it's easier to prepare for earthquakes than for massive hurricanes. In the south, even though they know a hurricane is coming, there's not a lot you can do to prevent flood damage. Water is just too unstoppable of a force. Once the levies are breached, many, many people lose their property/lives.
Meanwhile, in an earthquake scenario, as long as your building is up to code, and there's no out of control fire, you've got a very good chance of surviving w/o major damage.
So, you are indeed correct, earthquakes do strike without warning, and can kill you. But I'd rather take my chances living with the threat of a quake, than live in a hurricane prone area, because I think my chances of survivng without life altering/ending consequences are better in quake country.
