Hi! New kid on the block with his first message!!
Living as I do in Kobe Japan, not sure I can agree with Pam's
statement "I've always preferred earthquakes to hurricanes".
Sure they just happen but I somehow think the aftermath (fires,
gas leaks, roads blocked by buildings falling every which way)
is the worse of the two. We get typhoons (literally "big wind")
too which can also be pretty devastating but, in MHO I'd rather
have the rain than the earthquake.
