So one of the interesting aspects of moving somewhere very far away is the type of disasters that happen. Getting a blizzard here would phenomenal. Getting one in Pennsylvania, while not common place, wouldn’t be anything that special.
One thing that happens here with enough frequency so as not to be extremely shocking, is landslides. On Wednesday, a house near the main campus of where I work slowly started coasting down the hill and into the neighbours’ houses. Click the picture for a larger image, or you can read about it here.
I don’t live anywhere near any hills, so I’m in no danger of landslides. Now if Mt Hood decided to blow, that’d be another story…
