Oh... darn, I MISSED it!!!! Well, I dare him go through a strong earthquake -- with NO warning it's coming! Then we'll see.
He's a moron. At least with a hurricane you have a chance to evacuate with your family. I was in Bellevue, (then) husband was downtown Seattle, and my kids were South of Tacoma, much closer to the epicenter (although it didn't matter with the depth.) All the cell phone lines were jammed and the phone lines were iffy, too. It was hours before I knew my children were safe. (Was I ever a blubbering mess!)
Nagin said the city had the authority to force residents to evacuate but didn't say if it was taking that step. He did, however, detail one heavy-handed tactic: Water will no longer be handed out to people who refuse to leave.
