actually; having survived '1989's Loma Prieta and two Napa quakes in a decade with foundation and brick chimney damage...I prefer the earthquakes to an out and out hurricane.

U can 'stock up' for hurricanes, floods and 'quakes ...tornados are pure demons and escape is by the grace of god alone...and a decent cellar.
