Monster Quake and Tsunami in Pacific

[McTrouble]

I see these extreme forces of nature and I thank my lucky stars that I live in England.

We folks of the British Isles are so fortunately situated in an area of peace and calm (naturewise and weatherwise).

We moan when we have to put up with a few inches of snow or losing a fence panel because we have a gale force wind now and then.

We don't have to worry about Typhoons, Monsoons, Hurricanes, Tornados, Droughts, Earthquakes, Volcanic Eruptions, Catastrophic Floods, Tsunamis, Deathly Blizzards et al.

Yes, all of us would be in trouble if Yellowstone blew, or a couple of similar calderas in Europe - but these are only "might happens". On the whole we Brits don't have much to worry about.

Why anyone would want to emigrate from our green and pleasant land is beyond me.

My heart goes out to everyone who has to cope with living in an area prone to extreme weather and natural disaster.
