I lived through the Mt. St. Helens eruption. I don't know if that counts.

Why havent I moved? Well, the Earth is a dangerous place everywhere.

I figure ground zero suits me best. Then I don't have to be one of those dazed ants wandering around aimlessly after the gasoline has reached the queen.

I was sitting at this very desk one Sunday morning shortly after I moved here for work.

I thought I felt the cat jump up on the back of the chair (she resides there when I'm on the computer). No cat. The monitor was moving a little back and forth, as was the ceiling fan above my head. Hardly a traumatic episode, but welcome to So Cal...

Gee in Florida been through quite a few Hurricanes.. including Andrew... Lived in a part of the world were the earth shook too.. And there is a fault line that runs up the eastern coast of the USA that occasionally make a big Crack Sound... nothing like it when the earth shifts..

Why move, just different challenges in a different place... Being prepared is more likely the most impostant factor no matter where you live...

I was up in Snohomish County in 1980, bit closer...we took way more crap from the death cloud when it passed over, including hot chunks of ash that welded themselves in hail-like stones, and then came falling down to crunk the roof and smash the windshield of the car.

In answer to whether we're safe in Portland, Mt. Hood is the same sort of mountain as St. Helens, High Andescitic lava dome. Are we safe here?

As long as Mt. Hood doesn't pull a copycat maneuver. If she does, I'm only twelve miles away in Troutdale. I would just go poof!

In the pacific, they are called typoons, and saw several during my 6 years living in Okinawa!

Awesome!

The Japanese know how to build homes to withstand 150 mph winds...

I've experienced eathquakes several times; only once was it was a little unnerving and I had a feeling of vertigo as things tilted. Also experienced cyclones several times - it's the same thing as a hurricane but that's what it's called in some parts of the world. I was glad to be indoors because whole uprooted trees and large objectswere flying around. But the worst was being in a tsunami - yes that one in December 2004 - in Sri Lanka. I was on a road about half a mile inland and away from the main waves. That was scary, very scary.

Have I moved? Sure...I came home. Those were in different places and where I am now has probably never experienced serious earthquakes, nor hurricanes ever and is totally safe from tsunamis.
