You have to look at the frequency of these events. Fires and slides are a yearly phenom in California, yet every year when they occur, the hapless yuppies you see on the TV news have this dumbstruck look on their faces, like they can't believe this is happening. I could understand the confoundment if it was Godzilla and Mothra terrorizing downtown Witchita, but c'mon, where have these people been all their lives that they're suprised by this?
