Re: Hawai'i and severe earthquakes
That statistic must be referring to the island of Hawaii. Not the Hawaiian Island chain.
I've lived on the island of Oahu over 30 years of my entire life, and this past October's Earthquake was the ONLY earthquake I ever experienced... EVER. That's pretty darned infrequent, making it safe to say Oahu in particular has a pretty good record as far as natural disasters are concerned. As far as I'm concerned at least.
Yeah, a BIG ONE could hit almost anywhere. Not just Hawaii. It's the Tsunamis that are more of a threat to Hawaii, as they can be generated from earthquakes anywhere around the Pacific Rim. Not to sneeze at hurricanes either.
Knock on wood.
