[Quiet Man Cometh]

It's kind of interesting to see how relative the idea of danger is between locals and not. I can say I'd be scared of living in a high risk tornado area, but then, here I am in a high risk earthquake area and when people say as much I'm more or less "meh."

Speaking with my Australian roommate in uni at one point was something like
"OMG poisonous spiders! How do you EVEN!"
"But bears! I mean like BEARS!"

*Note: poster does not actually say "how do you even?"

There are quite a few animal encounter stories that float around the family, and one earthquake story, that being my brother who managed to sleep through one.
