And of course this doesn't even factor in the potential damage from looming earthquakes.
I know it's easier said than done to simply pull up stakes and relocate, but at this point people who stay in that area are like folks moving in the Amityville Horror house, ignoring the booming demonic voice telling you to GET OUT.
