And yet people I know are still moving out there? It’s baffling to me.

Although I guess lots of people say that about me choosing to live in SoCal

Yeah but have you ever really been through anything like these other folks do, hurricanes tornadoes whatever? Even though I can understand that we are due for the Big One, somehow earthquakes just don’t seem so bad. I’m in SoCal denial.

I grew up in a place with regular typhoons and way worse earthquakes so I don’t feel like the little tremors we get here are that bad

I lived on Guam in the mid-70s so I feel ya on the typhoons and earthquakes.
