Nope, couldn't pay me enough to live in quake zones. I've lived in Midwest all of my life (I know, tornados, but I've not been in any!). I haven't travelled much in my life but I did go on a medical mission trip to Guatemala in 2002 and wasn't there 1 day out of our planned 10 when I experienced a disconcerting movement. I asked a local and she said "oh yes, an earthquake, we have many" lord I hadn't even known Guatemala had earthquakes, had never experienced one and I never want to again! I know it's all what you are used to because people say the same things about tornados and they don't particularly bother me.....unless I am traveling and "see" one in the distance! Lol.
