Large earthquakes happen pretty infrequently, but they do happen. I happened to be a half mile from the epicenter of the Northridge earthquake in 1994 and it was the scariest 20 seconds of my life.... but I haven't felt anything remotely close to it in the last 14 years, and haven't felt any earthquakes at all in at least three years. Earthquakes are something you can be prepared for just like any other natural disaster, and I would definitely take them over tornadoes or hurricanes.

South Carolina has all 3.
