10.5 Exxon Valdez tankers worth...

Yep, we're fucked. I'm moving to Tennessee. No hurricanes, earthquakes, or blizzards. Just a nice, calm-weather state with good drainage.

Sorry to burst your bubble but they deal with hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding (like this year!) and earthquakes too.

Hurricanes are just left over rain when they hit TN. We do get shit loads of tornados and high winds. Never heard of an earthquake here so if there are ones they are very minor. The Flooding this spring was a TOTAL freak occurence. I have NEVER seen a storm that size stall over one area like that. Over all TN has GREAT weather. Part of the reason I will probably never leave.

You are due for another one too, and with buildfing codes not designed to let the houses shake like out in CA it could spell a real disaster if a 4.0 or higher hits. You dont realize it but TN gets hit with them all the time. Ridgely, Dyersburg, Townsend, Friendsville, and Athens were all were hit this month, and Maryville got hit with a 3.3 earlier this year. Not big by natural disaster standards but it means that it is possible for a much larger event to happen.
