Bernie I am the same as you! it was one of my deciding factors about 6 years ago ( or whenever the big June one was years back ) not to move out permanently as I was there to experience that one, it made me realise I am not cut out to live in a country that is prone to earthquakes!
Call me naïve but when we bought our apartment 12 years ago ( doesn’t seem possible it’s 12 years this May) I knew about the earthquakes as in having to have the dask but I really never expected to experience one...
