“More are killed in the U.S. by tornadoes, storms and hurricanes than in earthquakes.”
Which year?
Definitely not 1906 or 1811. Those years, the earthquake deaths were hundreds of times greater than the tornado deaths.
The thing with a killer earthquake is that it does not happen for decades or centuries, but — when it does — it catches up with the death count.
It is like a killer asteroid impact. I does not happen, but its risk to your life is greater than the sharks. When asteroid hits, it will wipe out 4 billion people. So, it can happen every 60 million years and still be more risky.
Hello? ...Look at the building codes in the early 1800s and 1906. Get real.
In MODERN AMERICA more are killed in the U.S. by tornadoes, storms and hurricanes than in earthquakes.
This is a fact, whether you agree or not.
