When I lived out west (CA, ID, NV, AK, and WA) I got to experience a couple of earthquakes and the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. All were both terrifying and fascinating.<BR/><BR/>As a geologist I am amazed at the lack of consideration given to the more mundane sorts of geologic hazards like landslides, sinkholes, differential settlement and slow soil creep. On road trips husband has to listen while I go on about the hazards present along the road. In today's world it seems that if a building can be somehow fit on it, it is a suitable site for construction.<BR/><BR/>And - we had our first flicker sighting here last month!
