Goood points/post.

We are like ants on a rock, to some degree. I live in earthquake country, next to a bunch of large active volcanos. However, we don't have annual disaster seasons!

I just can not understand people who build on a river, on a layer of relatively high river silt, who think the river will not rise again soon.

Or, people who would live on a sinking ship (land) next to high ground. . .esp. when a there is notice of a coming storm.
