    That is so unbeliveably true, I’ve lived in Orange County my whole life, and I can’t ever remember a year where we haven’t had at least one brushfire. Some of my earlies memories are of taking the dogs and our stuff over to a relative’s when the fires got too close. My house has never burned down thankfully

    Well, I mostly meant in North America. (Though there are still some natural disasters in Europe: blizzards in the north, volcanoes along some parts in the south, etc.)

    We can’t really expect all Americans to pack up and move to Europe, either. Things aren’t that simple.

    We live, for the most part, where money forces us to live. If we can avoid natural-disaster-prone areas, great. If not, well, we’re all going to die some time anyway.

    It’s actually pretty hard to find a place that has no threat of natural disaster of any kind. And you can bet such places would be reserved for the richest people anyway.
