   Yeah, I hadn't thought about that.   We used to get a lot of fires in   
   Arizona and in California where I lived.  Also in California there we   
   mud slides sometimes (and we did also have a lot of car accidents due   
   to smog-like 30 car pileups etc) and we lived on the San Andreas fault   
   line, which was pretty scary as every year they'd predict in the next   
   so many years, the "big one" is coming.  It's never come, but it's   
   gotta sometime!  I would guess Australia would be continually worried   
   about drought and fires and on the coasts, maybe tidal waves because   
   of earthquakes out to sea.  I guess there's no place safe to live!  I   
   thought the center of the US might be nice go to, but there's a lot of   
   tornadoes there as well.  Oh well, life seems to be a gamble.   
      
   So where do you suppose the safest place on Earth might be?
