[QUOTE="BillM, post: 3979463, member: 45785"] Not necessarily. I've been a prepper much longer than they have been calling it that. My 2nd step-father was a Southern Baptist minister, and expected Armageddon any minute now. In 1965. And we were doing the Civil Defense things like hiding under our desks during drills at school back then, too. Wouldn't be too sure about not worrying about quakes, either.

The area was lightly inhabited in 1811-12. The least powerful quake was the same magnitude as the one recently in Turkey, a 7.8. There was also an 8.1 and an 8.8!
