One of the safest places in the world to live!

Agreed, barehugs. We are not known here in Ontario for our natural disasters. Tornadoes are very rare, although one did touch down and tore up our local Co-Op a few years ago. It was very surprizing to have another touch down within a half hour's drive from me. I have family there and contacted them immediately to see how they were. My daughter was volunteering after the Mayor called a "State of Emergency" on the town. There are still several roads closed and the power was out for 8,000 ppl yesterday, but the Hydro company is working around the clock to get people back up and running. My cousin's house (farm) was just barely spared. It wiped out the tree line (big, mature trees) on the northern border of their property and their neighbour, then went down the highway to tear up all the hydro poles and telephone lines. Luckily there were no fatalities, which I find amazing, since it isn't like we are in a state of preparedness for these kind of events. But we are all country folk, so will take it in stride and rebuild what has been damaged and carry on.

hi barehugs No I do not worry about earthquakes as we have hundreds of minor shakes all the times so Iam very used to it. I cannot stop a bit one if it comes.so will have to deal with it then. but to stew about something you cannot cure or prevent becomes silly and self defeating too.I live in Southern California home of shake,rattle and roll country. since I have no money to move else where Iam stuck here so make the most of it. As for illegal immigrants we have had them for years.we will continue to have them until Mexico decides to help her own people.I feel we should hire about one hundred large trucks and shape themn up and ship them out back across the border.

Hi barehugs, I couldn't agree more, those of us who live in Canada are very fortunate. There isn't another place in the world where I would rather live. In more than seventy years I've never experienced anything worse than a snowstorm which knocked out power for a few hours. Blessings.

For me not to worry because this system is ruined because Armageddon will o cure in due time it is about the judgment of Jehovah God and after that the earth would became paradise and anywhere we live it safe no calamity will happened everything would b perfect.

I am sorry, but I think you meant 'Richter Scale' as opposed to 'Rectum Scale'. I wonder what a Rectum scale would measure.... The place we are living, there are not much disaster unless you count extreme heat. It is hot hot hot. And yes, we have lots of power cuts. It is almost daily occurrence. It is not the surprising when we have power cuts for 1 hour or so.

Dear sir. I can imagine your beautiful place to live and I admire you very much. You live in such a quiet and peace city which is far from the noisy and nature disasters. I am a Chinese, I live in Beijing. Beijing, now, is a big city. Many people from all parts of the world gethered in there. That made it unsuitable for live.(I think so.) As for the nature disatera, I think it is a relative things. The ratio of happening natur disaster is not the same in different place. I don't worry about the natural disaster, because the God can protect me, if I am a good person.

i dont think there is any place on earth that is free from everything you have listed.

We felt the tremors here in NY. I was sitting in my rocker recliner and it was shaking back and forth. I couldn't figure out what the heak was going on, til I saw it on the news.

people who live here in phoenix arizona,usa, say there are no desasters either, but i still say what they call a "micro burst" IS a tornado!! not any other natural disasters here really, but im still concerned about water. this place is the worst for drought. and with the BP thing im scared this country is going to have problems keeping fresh water of any kind eventually

No we should not be worry about those natural disaster..The bible says that we should not e worry about tomorrow but let tomorrow worry about itself...We should always remember that if it is already our time then we cannot do anything to stop it..Well that is just my opinion..Please don't be offended..

I heard about what happened in your province there. It was in the news a while ago, I'm from the Philippines. The province where we live here is prone to Earthquakes, we actually experienced a Killer Earthquake back in 1990, I was just 8 then. We are located in the mountain ranges so we have landslides then and the buildings in the city crumbled. All roads back then were inaccessible. Our place are also prone to landslides especially when it's rainy season. Many homes and lives were taken by landslides here. But people still want to build their houses in the mountainsides because it is close to their farms.

I am so jealous. I live in tornado alley, have lots of displaced Chicago residents and many immigrants. I love Canada. I've been everywhere in Canada. No lie! My favorite place? Banff and Jasper in the Canadian Rockies. Second favorite, the northern reaches, (great fishing).

The only natural disaster we have in our place are typhoons from tropical storms... lately we have flash floods from climate change.

I love to have storms every once in awhile. It makes life interesting sometimes. But never pray to have a disaster. That would be too far.
