When the next big earthquake hits the San Francisco Bay Area, it will be a catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina proportions. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of people will die, and hundreds of thousands will become homeless. Economic losses will be on the order of $200 billion, the vast majority of it uninsured. Outside help will be desperately needed, but difficult to coordinate and execute.
The article goes into some detail as to why it will be so bad. But really who does not realize that that San Francisco Bay Area is at risk for bad earthquake?
The real disgusting thing is who few people in the bay area are prepared for one. But it will be all the government’s fault when the calvary fails to arrive fast enough for their liking.
