I think the difference is that yeah, other areas have these disasters, 
true, but not as a yearly event like SoCA.  Tornados probably equal 
earthquakes in damage...Santa Ana winds probably equal hurricanes, but 
tornados and hurricanes are low odds kind of events, whereas the winds 
out there are a given due to terrain and season, and earthquakes are a 
given due to geology.  You could go 2 or 3 generations in say South 
Texas without seeing a flood, tornado, blizzard, or hurricane in your 
area, but could you go even one generation in Southern California 
without earthquake or wind/fire/mudslide damage?

My Bug-out bag is still packed; it is a Rubbermaid bin that I store my 
camping stuff in.  I have a list of other things to grab, and all 
important stuff is in another location..  Somethings, like fishing gear, 
tools, and a tent, remain in my pickup 24/7.
