Oh, no don't think that way, the Northridge quake, I believe was in the 80's and then the one near San Franciso, it took out parts of the freeways along, levels of it, piled up on it, crushing commuting cars. I think if we never lived in certain areas, we have no idea of the frailty of them, or didn't. Now with the internet, in 5 min., it's out there. Look at the terrible fires out west. An tsunamis caused by earthquakes, we only think of them happening in Asian countries. Not so.

Grant you, they were a long time ago, but if there were a large Pacific earthquake today, the west coast could be in great peril, especially since the population has changed in all these 50-60 years. The one that hit Hilo years back was caused by an earthquake off the southern part of Chili!
I love history so that's one reason I love the internet, all these facts can be looked up quickly and I love my big screen monitor. Live life and be happy, and may you all be safe.
