In Hawaii it's the difficulty of getting from Island to Island. On the Big Island
it's the possibility your home may be in the path of a lava flow (of course you
could get lucky and end up in a
kipuka (an island of life where the lava has flowed around).


Here in Monterey it's pretty "perfect" save the summer fog. Other than that our
climate truly is temperate (Neither too hot nor too cold). There are the
occasional 10 year 20 degree freezes, but
those aren't common and usually you only have to worry about tender plants with
those. Wild fires can occur but this area is so cultivated it's not likely any
settled areas (except houses in the
hills) will get toasted, mudslides aren't common because we don't have steep
mountains here, and even though we get good quakes, the 1989 Loma Prieta (45
miles north) didn't even collapse any
buildings here at all.
