Follow-up: What natural event are you most scared of and why?
Asked at Pavel's.
ABBY SCHOFIELD | Student | Eureka
A: There was a fire in the backyard when I was 4. Everyone that was at the house had to put it out.
Sink or Swim: Probably a tsunami. I’m afraid of the ocean.
VICTOR MARTINEZ | Graduate Student | Pacific Grove
A: The 1989 earthquake when I was young. We were hanging out on the front lawn.
Shake It Out: Earthquakes, especially with all these old buildings.
BLAIR VOELZ | Farmer | Woodland
A: Currently the drought. It’s affecting me big time. Water’s a huge issue in farming. The priority is environment, not food.
No Grow: Continued drought. That will put me out of business. There’s no guarantees it will rain. In geologic history there’s been 20-30 year periods when it hasn’t rained.
