It would take 6 years if that happened here.

The trade off being we live in a perfect climate.....

I'd rather mend a buckled wheel than pull my dead son or daughter from a crumpled building.

you'll probably find that was a main road into a devastated town so needed to be fixed to bring in supplies.

still good work though.

WTF does climate have to do with earthquakes and tsunamis?

Apart from summer humidity their climate is way nicer than ours imho.

I couldn't give a flying fuck about your personal opinion of their climate tbh

The facts are Britain experiences, in ecological terms, the perfect climate. Japan experiences; rain seasons, typhoons, subtropical heatwaves and other various extreme weathers.

If you want to dish out the smart arse card - climate change, rising seas caused by melting ice caps, deforestation caused by years of drought in intense heat and numerous other geological phenomona are all linked acutely to both earthquakes and subsequently tsunamis. Specifically on nations whos geography has determined they reside right on or close to plate faults.

So yeah, back to my original point. I'd rather drive over pot hole ridden roads than have to repair those buckled by brutal, life-shattering earthquakes.

Good work but they are still finding people dead and people living in schools, maybe a bit of a waste of resources? Unless its a vital road.

Nope. Its not "acutely linked" its a theory. Proposed by the same group of scientists who still can't agree on whether global CO2 rises are cause or effect of global temperature rises.

Anyways, doesn't change my opinion as someone whose lived there through their wet season and got earthquaked on in the process, I'd chose their flawed cimate with its defined seasons over Scotlands generally wet and shitty one readily.

California is expected to see a quake of similar magnitude at some point as well, and its too dry, know what, I'd sooner live there too
