We had a 4.5 earthquake about 5 years back. There was a loud BOOM that sounded like a large empty dumpster being dropped on the street out front. Then the floor had a wave of motion roll through. We have a concrete slab floor with carpet in my home office, and it moved. The door to my closet started rattling, and I even went over and pushed on it to stop the rattle, and it started rattling again so the wave was still moving but I could not feel it.
Zero damage to our house or area. I can't imagine a big one like Japan had at 9.1 a few years back. I will take a risk of tornadoes any day. They hit one very small area and the civilization just a few blocks way is fine. Large earthquakes or hurricanes wipe out huge areas and take years to recover.
Good luck. I will dig out the picture of the lawn chair in the back yard that was knocked over Sammy posts when the weather is bad in other areas.
