I figure that, since our house survived the '33 quake ok, I'm not going to worry about it if I'm home when it happens.

I'm trying to decide if that is sound logic or if it is the architectural equivalent of "grandpa fell off a roof in 1943 without so much as a scratch so I'm not worried about him up there installing Christmas lights."

"Survived a few quakes" was one of the things I wanted when we were considering buying a home. Maybe it's faulty logic, but I figure it's better than an untested house.
