Yup. That awful Grand Canyon. Coconino National Forest. Kaibab Squirrels with their furry eartufts. Saguaro everywhere in the Saguaro National Park. The San Francisco peaks. Monument Valley. Sunset Crater. Gila Monsters. Jerome. Route 66. Oak Canyon. Sedona. Jackalopes.

Awful place.

Not to hijack this thread, but I cant remember seeing a squirl in Gilbert AZ where I lived. I suppose there are none in the Desert.

I'm sure you're right, that squirrels aren't in the desert. I believe the Kaibab Squirrels are only in the northern forests on the south rim. I lived in Flag for a while, in the forest, and a few visited me every day. I've always loved squirrels, but back east they were always grey or brownish. These fellas seemed magical !

As mentioned however, the risk of earthquakes is VERY REAL (and I say this as someone who was uttering "Jesus Christ!" while ducked under his desk as our bulding at work shaked rattled and rollsed back in the 6.8 quake of 2001 - so I'm FULLY aware of the fact that significant quakes can occur here).

Quakes can and do happen here.

This is close enough

Scientists say the next killer tsunami could come from a Seattle 9.0 earthquake!

Yeah, they've been saying this about California as well and "The Big One" hasn't happened yet. The bottom line is, although a big earthquake is possible, it could happen tomorrow or 100 years from now, nobody knows, so it's really nothing to fret over (as is fear of a volcanic eruption).
