Deluge of rain effects

In our litigious society there are disclosures for every possibility to the point of ridiculousness. Our last home required us to sign a right of way agreement for errant golf balls - a golf course being within a mile of the development.

Our current home is in a potential "Tsunami Inundation Zone" - we laughed at then when we sign it among all the other forms and disclosures. Perhaps, that one isn't so funny anymore.

But the point is, I'm sure they knew of it, but not so certain they knew realisticly what the risk might be. Afterall, we all know it's the other guy that gets into the car accident.

We live on the side of a very big hill, near the top. When we moved in we were reassured that, beneath the very sandy soil, there was a solid mass of basalt rock and we were in no danger of mudslides. Still, when I look at the mudslides in California, I can't help but notice how very much those neighborhoods look like mine, and I get nervous.
