Sitting on a Slippery Slope

Moving back to Seattle after spending 3 years in Baltimore was a dream-come-true, but believe me, I am well aware of Seattle's vulnerabilities, especially as I watch the horror and massive destruction of Hurricane Katrina. After that disaster, I think we all wonder, "Can that happen here?" Slate (I love Slate) dissects the thought and comes to the conclusion that Connecticut is the safest place to live. Boring. Give me Seattle any day and I will deal with its three risks: earthquakes, volcanoes, and a tsunami (?).
