We don't always choose where we live.
One could say the same about people in tornado alley, or Californians in earthquake areas, or people on the flood plains.
Some people just grew up there, have jobs there, have family there, inherited a home there, etc. etc.
Everybody lives somewhere.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27443909 Everybody may live somewhere, but just like Californians expect that at some point there's going to be an earthquake, people in this area would have to expect that due to circumstances, things may happen there as well. Things can happen anywhere. Anywhere in the US, there is some risk of something. Anywhere in the world, for that matter. In the past, I've had to live in some unsafe, crime ridden areas, due to work and lack of funds. It's just not always possible to move. Well of course something can happen anywhere, look at the earthquake that happened in Virginia last year...completely unexpected. However, some locations carry more risk than others. Someone living right next to a river or stream has to understand that they have a greater risk of flooding than someone that would live in the desert. I live where it regularly drops below zero in the winter. That is dangerously cold if one is stuck in the wrong place, though nowhere near the danger of living along a coast. Some day a tsunami will be generated either from an meteor impact or an earthquake that will match or exceed what happened in Japan. It's only a matter of time and will probably happen far sooner than anyone imagines. Such a tsunami could easily cover the entire southern chunk of Florida, and all the coastal cities. The death toll would be staggering. Hopefully we develop the ability to blast them into pieces before such an impact would occur.
