I live in a fairly quiet part of the world, but if I had to move someplace else, I think I’d rather be in an earthquake zone rather than a hurricane (or tornado) zone given the choice.

Hurricanes are more frequent, and there’s a lot of drama and dread before their arrival. Earthquakes on the other hand are infrequent, and while they may strike unexpectedly, it’s usually “one-and-done” (plus aftershocks).

In both cases it is prudent to be ready (“prepped” as the kids are wont to say):

Does anyone have any experience with both? Are there "pros and cons"?
