Disasters
You may have heard about the moderate-sized earthquake that hit Los Angeles on Tuesday, July 29th. There's a scary CNN article here. They have been saying for years that The Big One is going to hit soon. They've been saying this since 1994, when we had the last Big One. But it's still scary.
I've been thinking... is it really worth it? To live in a place that has earthquakes, and the potential to literally separate and fall off from the rest of the continental U.S.? Well, if I could trade a chance of having medium-sized earthquake every few years that lasts about 20 seconds, over BAD WEATHER ALMOST EVERY SINGLE DAY like we have here in Chicago, then YES. It's still worth it to me.
Not saying I'm not scared, but it's definitely a trade-off I'm willing to take.
