OK Jeff, yes I understand ... this hobby has brought me friends from all 
over the world.  The photos on TV are devastating.  We're on the Pacific 
Rim, we don't have hurricanes, typhoons [experienced one of those in 
Vietnam], cyclones, or tornadoes.  We do have earthquakes however, and 
they come from nowhere instantly of course.  Fortunately, not all that 
often.
