Wow. What happened? Welcome back!
I peruse now and then, and occasionally I fail to keep my mouth shut.
Sunbeam, I always appreciate your perspective. I agree there are quite a few areas that are prone to high numbers of calamities. Most of them seem to be on the coastal regions too. West Coast has its earthquakes. Gulf and East Coasts have their hurricanes.

I believe the second most vulnerable city in the country after New Orleans is Tampa/St Pete. Tampa Bay is an almost perfectly designed geographic funnel to concentrate and amplify storm surge coming from the right direction and put the whole region underwater. They have just been very lucky in the past 100 years never to have a hurricane strike from the right (or wrong) direction. A Cat 5 hurricane striking Tampa from the SW would put much of the city under 20+ ft of water and would devastate much of Sarasota as well, where many Mennonites live. https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environm ... ange-tampa

7.5 quake in Alaska yesterday. Anchorage usually has a number of small quakes. This epicenter is +400 miles off the peninsula.
