http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/Quakes/nc40204628.phpI have been through hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, and earthquakes and my preference is for earthquakes. You have no warning, it hits and it is over. The other types of events I mentioned always had warnings – sometimes several days in advance. For me the anticipation of an event is nerve racking. People that I mentioned this to who have not experienced an earthquake told me that I am crazy. Well, so be it! :)
