I guess you can look at it that way however New Orleans has avoided damage
like this for a couple of centuries now. You can also make that same point
about living in Florida where everyone knows will be hit by hurricanes, San
Francisco for being located on a major fault line etc... They made the
choice to live there and should (in theory) know the dangers.

Last week I was driving home through central Illinois and passed through New
Madrid which is also situated on an even larger fault line than San Fran,
should everyone in that area move out even though it hasn't had an
earthquake in centuries? (btw everyone is predicting a major one will happen
one of these days in that area)
