| 5.8 is NOTHING! Try living in the Northwest, a light earthquake for us was 6.8, we are expected to have a 9.0 in the next 25 years... |

| And plus, you guys don't have a tsunami risk... Nor a volcano risk, if we have a 9.0 earthquake, Mt. Rainier will erupt and send molten mudslides directly at a lot of major cities. |

| Mhmm... Northwest isn't the East. The East doesn't get many earthquakes and it's buildings aren't really meant for earthquake damage above 6.0 I beleive. |

>Around 6 Richter earthquake in NZ >Nobody cares.
>6 Richter earthquake in 'murika. >Everybody cares.
I know, East isn't a very seismically active zone, but still it isn't as worrisome as earthquake in Japan or Chile. |

The east coast is not on the ring of fire so yes, we care.
New Zealand is not just next to the ring of fire, it's IN it. |
