^I can safely say I will be psychologically stuffed if a big one happens here, and generally as I like living here I don't want a Christchurch kind of Earthquake ruining my relatively quiet little place.

I wish we could have Banned earthquakes here for a little while (be quiet down there tectonic plates and volcanoes...I want my beauty sleep). Angel

The truly sad fact is that tectonic plates don't give a shit what you want.

Bummer.

But a casual look at a few geology maps would give a reasonably good idea of where not to live if you are allergic to earthquakes, but still we complain.

Yep, but where there aren't Earthquakes there are floods, tsunami, volcanic activity, hurricanes/cyclones, tornadoes, forest fires, monsoons, and numerous other natural disasters and climate activity that has a bad effect on humans, that I am too lazy to post here. Wink
