Dude, California...

You should move. Ha, Ha laugh laugh laugh

As long as you have planned ahead, and can accept the risk as nominal who cares??

It just wouldn't be for me. But then you probably wouldn't enjoy tornado season here in Texas.

Tucson-the Rillito overflowed it's banks, Mt. Lemmon burned up, and killer bees ate my dog. New Mexico- ice, fires, plague carrying Ebert's squirrels, avian flu carrying crows. And hot chile. Really hot chile. Danger lurks everywhere.

And so do geese- beware.

Please don't move anywhere near me, You seem to attract disasters grin grin

"...I love this state..."

I used to also, having lived in CA all my life (except when Uncle Sam moved me around). But CA has changed, and not for the good. We are here visiting and recouping, gotta be here another month or so, and we can not wait to get outta here!!!

SBRaider, I may be the catalyst!

If a big one hits, it's my fault, guys and gals, so sorry.

OBG, I hear you, as a wise man said, you can never go home again, that's why I keep moving (plus the fed wit protect program doesn't work as they advertised).

I was born and reared in Houston. Lived most of my life in Houston and Austin. Only moved to San Francisco 12 years ago. Gotta admit, I prefer Northern California to Texas, but I do prefer hurricanes to earthquakes. You get at least 24 hours warning.

The bad neighborhood you might be in will probably be on fire. Gangs? meh. They'll be running in circles wishing they hadn't pissed off all the fire and police officers for the past 20 years. I second good no GREAT shoes.
