Kevin, Earthquakes are pretty terrible, if you're near the epicenter. Then lots of things fall down on you. Also, you can be wiped out by an earthquake if you don't have insurance on your home–and many Californians don't. Mainly, when there is a big one, like the Loma Prieta (World Series) quake at 8.1 or so, you're glad you're alive, and you get out of buildings that are damaged. Then you hope that there won't be another one like it in your lifetime. Surely you have some kind of natural disasters in Alberta? Tornadoes? Hurricanes? Volcanoes? Guess I'd better do some research with my new multimedia Microsoft Bookshelf. Lynne
