    3. Don't send him to California please. Joyce in Ca -----Original Message----- From: vafloyd-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:vafloyd-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of B. Williams Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 3:06 PM To: vafloyd@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [VAFLOYD] Where is everybody I have a cousin that moved to Navarre back in the early to mid 90's . The hurricanes are his fault. They did not have that many for many years. Since he moved there, I have lost count of the Hurricanes that have it that area. I think he has been OUT of his flooded house more than he has been IN it. Told him to move to another state. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kat Fulcher" <kfulcher55@gmail.com> To: <vafloyd@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 6:00 PM Subject: Re: [VAFLOYD] Where is everybody >I grew up in Ft.

    1. Re: [VAFLOYD] Where is everybody
    2. Jeanne Mower
    3. Yeh, I'll take my chances with the earthquakes. I've been through some doozies in CA and Alaska. I grew up almost due east of you girls in Stockton then. When my dad moved us out of L.A. (Venice Beach and small earthquakes and tidal waves were my first experiences there) we lived in the Bishop/Mammoth Lakes area near the east side of Yosemite. In the 80's we had some very strong earthquakes that scientists say weren't related to Mt St Helens, but I don't think they have convinced the locals of that. Everytime St Helens decided to tremor our little dormant Mammoth Mt would shake her bootie. The Mt is on the San Andreas Fault Line. Then she scared away all the City of Angels skiers (boo hoo) with opening little steam vents of her own. Of course the locals have always known of all the 'hot creeks' and natural 'hot tubs' but we weren't going to tell the tourists! When I lived in Alaska it was normal procedure to have everyone's boots lined up at the door and a rack for the coats right above...and this wasn't just gor the cold weather! Right inside the coast closet was everyone's own 72 hour pack filled with custom emergency goodies. Outside was safer in Alaska because there wasn't the danger of falling power poles and buildings. We always lived out away from everyone else and the way the ground shakes there your house is more liable to falling down on you no matter what it is made of. That reminds me though of some construction men I knew then that were working on a steel frame design for homes that would sway. ....fairly stable, calm, and warm here in Bend, Jeanne On 2/12/08, B.
