It’s much easier to take cover from a tornado or hurricane than a big quake. Of course, most quakes aren’t severe, but, hey, I’ve never had to worry about a tsunami.

Although no significant ancient civilization was involved with that one, it seemed appropriate given your screen name! :-)

Most buildings in earthquake country have reinforced corners, windows and doors, so they are relatively safe from the shaking.

I’ll take my chances here, thanks!
