Well...at least you can prepare for and hide from tornadoes and hail.
Earthquakes are Soooo Californian. So...'woman's prerogative.'
Earthquakes happen without warning, for no apparent reason, releasing years of pent up energy, and cannot be avoided.
Tornadoes are in, out, and gone in an evening....leaving behind some damage, some relief to those who knew what to do, but in all cases, never to be seen again.
In the U.S. year after year, more are killed and injured by tornadoes than earthquakes.
