Personally, I’d rather be temporarily homeless than permanently dead. But that’s just me.
There was a study a couple of years ago by UCLA. They’ve concluded that a 7.0+ is likely to happen in the next 30 years somewhere along San Andreas Fault in Southern California.
I saw the same prediction of the big one within 30 years on a May 1977 episode of “In Search Of: Earthquakes” narrated by Leonard Nimoy.
Anyway, people are usually more afraid of the more rare threats (e.g. shark attacks, earthquakes, terrorist attacks) than the more common ones (car accidents, smoking, hit by a falling coconut) whereas the more common event usually tend to be far more damaging.
