So Happy to Have Moved from Richmond

Seeing recent devastation in New Orleans when their levees broke, I could not help but to feel lucky. Including feeling for the plight of those masses of people now homeless, I also think about the people in Richmond exposed to two potential calamities:
A) Fraser River flooding: occurring cyclically over the years and now long overdue
B) **The** earthquake, also long overdue

It takes one breach in the Richmond dyke system (dyke, as in earth walls) - the whole place is under water....not to mention the solufluction (quicksand) effect.

p.s. A friend just told me the least expensive protection for Richmond residents for emergency preparedness is to issue each house a rubber dingy. Macabre, but true.
