RE: [Geology2] New map: where to live to avoid a natural disaster?

Hi Roger/Jane.  Yeah I struggle to find time to contribute here also, lol. Despite this I too find the site highly informative. There was a small quake in the UK (I think back in 2008 or 2009), which was felt late at night.  I can remember the building I was in moved for a split-second, lol. But yes, thankfully the UK is extremely lucky in that respect!
