I recall visiting Harre Demoro in Oakland, CA about 1974.  He lived in one
of the Canyons or ravines up in the Oakland Hills.  I asked him if that
might be a branch of the Hayward Fault across the street.  He affirmed that
it was.  I asked how often it moved.  He said that the chandellier in the
living room swung back and forth about once a year.  And then Harre went on
to say, "But you have hurricanes in the east."   It's all in what you get
used to.

I guess if I had a reinforced house that could withstand a magnitude 10
quake, with bookshelves built like stoves in a ship's galley so that nothing
could fall off, then I think Camelot would be a great place to live.   I
guess by the time you get up to 10, it is even difficult to keep the Pacific
Ocean anywhere near where it is supposed to be.
