The waiting room...

We are all waiting for the big one.
.
Yesterday's quake in California confirmed it - I'm not the only one waiting for the next promised big one. Not just in California, but anywhere in the U.S. - we are a country on high anxiety alert - which explains why the press made a huge deal of a moderate quake that did very little damage.
.
A list of the most popular "big ones" many people probably are waiting for:
.
Another 911.
.
Any horrendous act of terrorism, but especially something nuclear - although it must be localized.
.
Another, bigger Katrina.
.
A mega volcano in Yosemite.
.
Any volcanic action in downtown L.A.
.
A tsunami - on any coast of the U.S. (All of these things must happen in the U.S. to impress us for more than a day.)
.
A mega quake anywhere in the U.S. but higher points if it hits someplace such as Memphis where we haven't built buildings to withstand quakes.
.
What most people in the waiting room DO NOT want:
.
No pandemic - no one wants to be sick.
.
No recession/depression - no one wants to be poor.
.
No all out war - no one wants to fight.
