Get real. At least in a quake, your home and belongings don't end up scattered all over in the next state. LOL!
Tell you what, you keep your hurricanes where they are, and I'll keep my quakes. It's a deal!
Uh, I live in quake and volcano country- the only time I lived where there were hurricanes, I was an infant. I fear less for my property as far as damage goes in a quake, but I would prefer WARNING of a quake coming. Last big quake I was 45 miles from my kids and mother (dad was at work 10 miles from me) and wasn't able to find out they were ok for hours because the phone lines were out and it took awhile to drive there with all the extra traffic. At least with a hurricane, I could have my entire family together and try to get someplace safe. If these people have never experienced an earthquake, it will scare the crap out of them. You never forget that rumbling, like a freight train coming right at you.
