I've never understood why people that live in states that get repeatedly hit by Hurricanes or tornados are so afraid of Earthquakes. Sure they are usually unpredictable, but at least they don't torment you by having seasons for them, or coming in for several days threatening to wipe out your entire region.
And earthquake? Lasts maybe a minute? If your buildingd are built well enough there will be relatively little damage, and things will return to normal. Only the relatively rare quakes break everything or cause secondary events that destroy everything (large fires, tsunami and the like).
