Poll: Quakes, Twisters or Hurricanes—Which Would You Rather Live With?

Imperial Valley swarm and Gulf Coast storm are reminders that where we live is a choice of threats.

Thankfully, last week’s —called a swarm and felt locally—did not lead to a feared Big One. But on the Gulf Coast, Hurricane Isaac did serious damage, and areas of the Midwest are still rebuilding after deadly spring tornadoes. So where do you go to escape natural disaster? Are San Diegans relatively safe—being some distance from the biggest fault lines in California? Pick you poison—what force of nature is least worrisome to you?
