WICKED!! I SURVIVED HURRICANE ANDREW BACK IN THE 90′S WHEN I WAS LIVING IN MIAMI AND NOW THAT I WORK FROM MEXICO CITY I GOT TO KNOW HOW EARTHQUAKES FEEL AND HURRICANES ARE MUCH WORSE BECAUSE YOU DONT FEEL ANYTHING ALL YOU HEAR IS EVERYTHING RIPPING ON THE OUTSIDE AND IT’S ALL HUGE MIND GAME CUZ YOU DONT REALLY KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON OUTSIDE, ON THE OTHER HAND IN AN EARTHQUAKE YOU CAN ACTUALLY BRACE YOURSELF AND GRAB ON TO SUMTHING IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR MOVING
the pic with the one house standing is amazing!
In an earthquake, you don’t know when that disaster going to hit. Therefore, preparing for eathquake is mandatory, there is no mandatory evacuation before the earthquake, causing kaos out on the roads.
The disaster in hurricane last longer. The earthquake last in seconds or couple of minutes. Objects in hurricane flys sideways, the objects in earthquake falls down.
There’s minimum place to walk in a hurricane (by shelter), there is no place to walk in earthquake (like balancing yourself on a rope).
Hurricane is predictable, earthquake is unpredictable.
You can prepare for an heartattack in a hurricane, you cannot prepare for an heartattack in a hurricane.
All in all, both disaster has the same consequence. Food, water, and power and medical treatment become scarce.
And me, I prefer earthquake. It dosn’t come annually. Maybe every decade???

Ficam as fotos para uma história cada vez mais repetida. “May God have mercy”. Ver restantes fotos aqui. [...]
