A powerful earthquake on Friday hit Russia's Far East with tremors felt as far away as Moscow, about 7,000 kilometres west of the epicentre.
an 8 or an 8.2 according to reports. That's like a quake in Vancouver being felt in Halifax

No place safe from a possible earth quake it seems.

Just a by-product of processes that keep us alive.

Come to the Canadian Shield. We're sitting on one of the oldest, most solid slabs of rock on the planet.

I'm right on the edge, problem is, where I live was once the bottom of the Champlain sea. Sedimentary rocks all over the place and I have no problems finding fossilized sea shells on the bottom of a small river that flows near here. A short drive though and I'm on the shield.

Come to Windsor/Detroit. The economy sucks, but the chances of a natural disaster hitting you are slim!

If Detroit got hit by an EF-5 tornado, like what hit Oklahoma, then it's entirely possible that the tornado would not do any damage given that leftist policies have already wiped out thousands of homes all on their own.

A massive tornado could sweep through here and, quite conceivably, not damage a single occupied home.
