Ok and? Pretty sure it caused PTSD in the 90%, and sure as hell sucked for the other 10%.
Otherwise why don't city parks have lava fountains for kids to run through like opening up fire hydrants?
My best friend in Oklahoma lives in the "tornado ally", he has lived there most of his life and still lives there. And just like Hawaiians, he has to live with nature like their volcanos. Just like being on the coast of NC which gets hit every so often by hurricanes, and just like Tokyo and Los Angeles have to deal with earthquakes, it does not mean that humans have to be blind to the threat, or ignore the threat.
Talking about percentage of survival is a mistake. It does not matter to the dead, or those who survive of the family of the dead.
No, discussing survival percentages is not a mistake. Since everything has some element of risk, it is proper and prudent to assess that risk. As for this topic, a 90% chance of survival is acceptable to me. It might not be acceptable to you, and that's perfectly OK.
