The entire country will feel this for a while. Anyone who has shopped for building supplies in the past 2 years knows the huge price increases attributed to sending building supplies to Iraq (without regard to cost). Now, there will be a fuel surcharge on top of that.

I'm completely puzzled by the lack of a highly visible national relief drive. Are we going to have 'empathy burnout' for people who choose to live where there's a once-in-a-lifetime chance of disaster?

As was mentioned before, should people abandon Seattle because seismologists say there's a near-certainty of a 9.2 magnitude quake?
