I fear earthquakes. So do I. Big ones have been felt in Italy and South America. Add Japan and New Zealand to that list of recent big ones. The Pacific "Ring of Fire" has been active lately. There will be more. The US is getting due for a big one. Where will it first occur? The north or south zone of the San Andreas? The Cascadia Subduction Zone? Somewhere in southern Alaska? All of these are going to get hit again at some time or other. I currently live in the Puget Sound region of Washington and I think quite a bit about what I'll do when the Cascadia breaks loose again, which it does every 300 years or so, give or take a century. When it lets go, unlike the San Andreas, it will unleash a large tsunami as well as significant damage from the quake itself. Many people will die, and the Pacific Northwest will be in a world of hurt. If it happens in my lifetime, I hope to be gone from here before the event..
