Supposedly, the Pacific Northwest is overdue for a big quake. A lot of coastal communities in this region seem ill prepared for possible tsunamis and such that will likely result. I hate seeing third world countries failing to develop because housing was wiped out by the latest big natural disaster, something the buildings were not constructed to withstand even though they knew it was coming. It was not a matter of if but when. I am appalled that America seems to be doing such a poor job about similar situations. We know it's coming. We will probably be caught flat-footed anyway.
