Cyndy, I always find it iteresting reading people's reactions to different natural disasters. I guess it really comes down to you are more comfortable with what is familiar. Being a born and bred Californian, earthquakes don't bother me in the least, but tornadoes scare me to death! <G> When I was a baby my grandparents were visiting from Oklahoma. Shortly after they arrived we had a massive earthquake about 15 miles from our home. Because it was out in the dessert and sparcely populated, there wasn't a lot of damage. However, my grandfather wanted to go home immediately, even though they had planned to stay for several months. He said he wouldn't trade one acre of Oklahoma for the entire #$%^% state of California! LOL! They did convince them to stay. However, about two weeks after they returned home, they had an earthquake! My mother was born and grew up in Oklahoma and even she prefered earthquakes to tornadoes.

It did this early last week as well and blew one of my runs over and destroyed all my tarps covering the runs. Ten years ago, when I lived down the street from where I am now, a tornado hit my house. Scary stuff, but I'll take a tornado over an earthquake or volcanic eruption any day.
