Earthquakes and the fallout.

starseekingI know, I know typically it should be Radiation, but AFAIK the Earthquake did not free the giant Radioactive worms that live under the Earth.
Mom told me after the bigger shock the other day, "If I start screaming, just take me to the ER because I probably won't stop."
This confused me for a while and then my brain hit upon why. My mother, is a bigger control freak than even *she* admits. She told me she didn't like the Earthquake because there was no warning.
This is true. Really I don't mind the ones we get around here, because I highly doubt we're going to have "the Big one" here. We're just going to burn. Really. That's how I feel will happen in this area. Fires.
So we talked about it for a while and it's because there's no warning, and there's nothing to be done, no cover to be taken (since we haven't mastered this flying thing yet.)
I'm not sure why it sort of shakes me to see my mom worried about Earthquakes. I guess it's because I have a "As it is, so shall it be." Approach to Mother Nature. I mean I know we can protect ourselves from it somewhat, and even predict when we might need to with some reasonable accuracy, but really the only thing that has shaken me is watching a control freak realize there's something she can't control.
There's nothing I can do for it either.
