Living on West Coast, we’ve never encountered anything like this but we do have earthquakes, possible tsunami threats etc..so after watching Sandy coverage tonight, we just finished updating our “get the hell out of dodge” list. Better safe than sorry!
Maybe not precisely like this storm, but I lived in SoCal for half a century, and can remember multiple episodes of flash flooding, biblical rains, earthquakes, fire storms, and even some lesser events that caused widespread grief and damage.
And don't forget the riots. Plenty of them too.
