Ditto. I'm a native born Californian. I've felt many an earthquake. The '71 sylmar quake was the most violent I ever felt due to my location to the epicenter. But I would never trade places with someone in tornardo alley. I admit that it could have something to do with watching "The Wizard of Oz" at a young age. That tornado scared me to death.
WOW, you must have lived in Sylmar.
I was in that earthquake as well.
I remember being out of running water for a week.
And no hot water for a week and a half.
But I’m with you, no tornadoes for me, either.
In fact, I remember people talking about other areas of the country at that time, they all had some form of “hazard” to live with.
