Of course, here we have the threat of earthquakes...that last big one we had, the Nisqually Earthquake, really rattled our house, and did minor damage...we live only a few miles from where the epicenter of the Nisqually Earthquake, took place, so it was the scariest time I ever had, concerning the weather, since I have lived out here...but I am willing to stay here, and take my chances...

Having been raised in Chicago, I lived through those hot humid summers, frozen, blizzardy winters, just about having only 2 weeks of actual spring, and 2 weeks of actual fall weather...I miss the culture of Chicago, its museums, its zoos, and clubs, and restaurants, and all that there is to do in Chicago...but I surely do not miss Chicago weather...

The worst quake that so far has happened this way was the 4.0 this year. Odd part was that no-one really noticed it.
Some sci-types at an 'outpost' looked at their seismographs and said, "Oh gee, we just had an earthquake."
Something I miss seeing, but do not miss experiencing, watching storms float across miles of flatness in northern Ohio.
