I've been in the Bay Area almost 30 years, through the Loma Prieta, and Napa Valley Quakes, and a few random smaller ones. Having a gallery with lots of gems, minerals, and crystals on display, and many glass shelves, that's located right on Richardson Bay, the possibility of a big, destructive earthquake does cross my mind from time to time.
But there are other possible natural disasters, that can result in catastrophic damage and loss of life. Floods, hurricanes, and tornados can all wreak havoc, and occur far more often than earthquakes and tidal waves. There are also other parts of the US that have had major earthquakes in the past, and a strong possibility of future big ones, too.
