Alex, you aren't alone. One of the primary reasons I moved from San
Francisco to Seattle was that I viewed it as less earthquake prone.
Well a decade+ later, I now know that it *is* less earthquake prone
but when it does have earthquakes they are 8-9 on the scale and
tend to level everything. So one is sitting at the roulette table.
I'm currently stacking the cards to lean in a different direction.
I don't know if I'd go to the full lead lined bunker yet -- but I
definitely think there is a strategy for cryogenic preseration
of your pseudo-stem cells in such an environment for decades.
If I get to express my vote we are going to push one of the companies
leaning in this direction over the edge within the next few years.
I.e. you will be able to sign up for this "precautionary measure".
Robert
