I would think twice before I'd buy a house even close to it. I do understand some people don't have a choice.. but.. It's just so sad to see this happen over and over again.. They need to come up with a solution.. brick houses? Iron houses from the inside covered with a nice coating? I don't know... Awards

There really isn't anyplace that's immune from some kind of natural disaster in the entire world. Wherever you are is home, and it's worth taking the risk. I live in northern California and people from other parts of the US always worry about earthquakes out here, but if the big one ever hits in my lifetime, chances are my house will sustain a lot of damage but it won't be a pile of rubble on the ground or blown away entirely. Eight of the top 10 most powerful earthquakes in US history were in Alaska, and one was in Missouri. The southern states have hurricanes that can wipe out and flood entire cities, and the northeast has winter snow and ice storms that can leave you without electricity for weeks at a time. I'll take my chances with earthquakes. billyblade, Blackbart and CobraBites 3 Awards

I grew up in oregon and was 400 miles due south of mt st helens when it blew...we got ash all the way down there against the jet stream.. i lived in the bay area and have been in a couple earthquakes, lived on the gulf coast and in hawaii...almost got hit by hurricane iniki...turned from oahu at the last..AND I MEAN LAST minute and wiped out Kauai. Lived in Northern maine and experienced white outs and brutal cold..one storm dropped 24 inches in less than 12 hours. One january morning it was -90 below with the windchill on the flightline of the air force base i was stationed at (Loring AFB).....3 days ago we had our first bouts with bad storms here in Alabama....lotta damage around us but my town dodged the proverbial bullet. I gotta agree with LOM...there are all kind of things weather wise and natural that are scary. best thing to do....tuck your head up close to your butthole and pucker...might be your last kiss ever.......

I don't know... sorry...brick wont cut it against F5 tornadoes...everything gets totally leveled. Only safe place is underground.
