We have earthquake drills twice a year at work. I also have emergency "kits" on every floor of my three story home. The nuclear power plant accident has me a bit concerned and wondering about the jet stream these days. Even though I live within the Cascadia Subduction Zone, I am on the far side of it... I think I'm ready to move to Britain. I feel really bad for the people of Japan and a bit nervous about any kind of whiplash effect such a large earthquake might have on other plates. I grew up around the San Andreas fault and very much used to earthquakes, but subduction quakes freak me out a lot more than thrust faults.
