My parents now live in Arizona, Boxey, but I've lived near Portland, Oregon since I was a pre-teen (over 35 years).
My comment was because last summer we lost a record number of acres in a single wildfire in southwestern Oregon (over 1,000 homes destroyed in wildfires around the state, if I heard correctly). This past winter was so dry in this corner of the country that the experts are now saying this year's fires might be even worse.
You have tornadoes, California has earthquakes (well, so do we but not as many), and we have landslides and wildfires.
Oh, and the occasional volcano.... :laugh:
Still, earthquake risk and dormant volcanoes aside, there's no place else I'd rather live (Nevada and Arizona are too hot, dry and brown for me!)
I am
