I live below a dam, but purposely built out of its path.

Oakland (CA, SF East Bay) has a number of people who live below dams (Lake Temescal and Lake Chabot, on or near the Hayward Fault, respectively), but some say the damage (e.g. in the event of a major earthquake) would be limited. Both are earthen dams.

Still, this might be a stellar time to go visit FRiends elsewhere.

I do too, sort of. Well, a reservoir. Might even be above it. Anyway on a hill and very unlikely to be flooded. Prado dam is closest but it’s about 27 miles away, and the Santa Ana River flows to the sea north of me. Anything short of a biblical flood and I’m going to stay dry.

Good plan.
