Subject: earthquakes

In the last week two people have privately expressed concern and raised an
issue I do not recall having been discussed before in public. For those who
haven't thought of it, it probably deserves mentioning, no matter whose ox is
gored.

In an earthquake-prone area, special safety features of the building could
help, but do not address all the potential  problems. If there were a MAJOR
earthquake, even if the storage building suffered no damage, there could
still be protracted interruption of access and of services of many kinds,
including nitrogen delivery.
