Thank you

I'd be curious. I was on the Bon Homme Richard and we were just leaving Vietnam waters when we received notice that we had to turn around and render assistance to the Forrestal. I have a friend here in town that was on the Forrestal when that event happened. My brother still has a newspaper clipping about that event at home. That is a very emotional moment for me in some ways, as I saw all the body bags being brought onto our ship.

I'll take that Florida heat any day. What I don't like in Florida is the hurricanes. Lived in Tampa Bay for 13 years. I was on the outskirts of 4 of them. I think earthquakes can be more dangerous, but it depends on where you are in relationship to the center and other factors.

A lot of lightning strikes in the Tampa Bay area

Well, if someone shows me where the outlet is.

What are the conspiracy nuts saying?

A quake in NY by itself doesn't mean much. It is a scientific fact though that the frequency of earthquakes has been increasing for a number of years now. That increase is expected to continue.

I have been in several earthquakes. None of them really big, at least not at my position, but some of those were quite serious for some people nearer the epicenter. I barely experienced an earthquake several years ago while living in Northern California that was stronger in the San Fran area, and happened sometime around the beginning of a world series game. I had a case many years ago, visiting a friend in Washington when the ground started jerking, and since my friend was a practical joker I thought he had something to do with it. Then I looked at him and he was innocently watching tv. Then I realized it was an earthquake in the Mt, Saint Helen's area. I have been through a few earthquakes in Boise, Idaho but the epicenter was around Yellowstone. Yellowstone is being closely watched for earthquake activity, and/or huge geysers going off. There are faults all over the world though the best know is the ring of fire which goes all around the Pacific; the west coast is totally at risk, as is Alaska, Japan, and much of the eastern pacific. It is easy to get carried away with the data. But it is a real threat. It really is.
