Trouble is, here in Seattle and other areas on the West Coast that get infrequent but very powerful earthquakes, that it's not taken seriously and prepared for enough because we don't get frequent reminders that we should be doing something about it. We're slated for a monster earthquake and I think it'll be bad news when it happens - much worse than in Japan because we're less prepared for it. Gotta live for the moment, I guess.
