Earthquakes are the bigger concern (and that reminds me - we need to update our emergency kits). They come out of the blue. I know you are super busy, but spend a few minutes educating yourself (if you don't already know) on earthquake drill, figure out the safe spots in your house and make sure the older boys know the drill. The school probably does drills, but you might as well check with them. :)<br /><br />(I do sound a bit blase about volcanoes, don't I? We can see the biggest one in N. America from our bedroom window, but supposedly - it's overdue - when it goes, it will erupt towards the SW, and we are NW of it, by about 50 miles).LMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15414130117540911200noreply@blogger.com
