    Living in a place with earthquakes is also suck. You could be fast asleep and suddenly awaken by the shakes and had to evacuate out of the house within seconds. Doubly so if it’s on a shore because you may need to evacuate the area if the quake is large enough to potentially trigger a tsunami. I wonder when we finally have an earthquake version of tornado warning.

      I am against earthquakes on principle.

      Oddly enough, I just read something today about newly emerging earthquake detection tech. It involved small variations in movement tracked by GPS transmitters, and would give 2 hours (+/-?) before the quake hit. I like the idea of that.
