You know, I grew up on the New Madrid fault in Southeast Missouri, which Redlener mentions near the beginning of this program, and let me tell you, the minute the big one hits that place, it's toast. Those guys aren't prepared at all. Of course, now I live in San Francisco, so it's not exactly like I've dodged the earthquake bullet by moving away, but the differences between how much better the preparation has been in California than in other parts of the country are just astounding.
