The odd thing is that they are about 3 times as likely to die in a tornado in Kansas than an earthquake in LA.
What about their chance to become homeless?
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.
LA may be fine, but San Bernardino and Palm Springs sit directly on top of the fault. Last time we had a 7.0 in a populated area in the U.S., 63 people died and around 20,000 buildings were damaged.

July 29, 2008 at 2:09 PM #248759seattle-reloParticipantMan, I missed it! I’m in Missouri right now.
I was in Seattle during the Nisqually quake (2001), it was a 6.8 – oh yeah, and I was in the hospital in active labor when it happened.

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.
