So California had another earthquake this past weekend. A Hurricane is heading towards Florida. Tornadoes normally go through the middle of our country. If you live next to an uncontrolled creek or river or in a low lying area, you can bet there will be flooding in your future.

My question is this:
Nobody can be so ignorant of common knowledge as written above that they don't understand the implications and risks of living in certain areas right? RIGHT???

So why in the world do these people act all surprised when something like this happens in their neck of the woods? If it is a given, why is it a big deal?

It's like living at the base of a snow covered cliff and being surprised when an avalanche covers up your house.

The people of California rank right up there on the list too. C'mon man, you live in a serious earthquake zone. When one happens it should not be a surprise, or a big deal, or anything. It should be expected and life goes on. If you want to make it a big deal then move to New Mexico or Utah or somewhere that ranks really low in natural disasters.

People who live in Florida, or anywhere in the gulf coast or east coast regions kill me when a hurricane happens. Like its a big surprise when one hits. Nevermind they have history of hundreds of hurricanes in the past on they have DAYS to prepare and get out of there.

Sometimes humans are just stupid.
