Glad to know you're safe. I live at the corner of Tornado Alley and Hurricane Central, we get floods almost on a weekly basis and I'm used to extreme weather, but earthquakes scare the screaming blue f*** out of me.
Did I mention there is actually a fault line in the Gulf and we get minor earthquakes in Mobile occasionally? About twenty years ago we had a quake in the middle of the night and it scared me so bad I couldn't go back to sleep.
After Katrina a friend of mine tried to convince me to move to Cali to escape the hurricanes, and I said "Trade tornadoes and hurricanes for earthquakes, mudslides, and forest fires? No thanks." But mostly the earthquakes. I don't think I could cope.
