There's no "good place" to be. The experts say modern high rises will probably come through OK, but who wants to be on the 70th floor of a building that's swaying 25 feet in either direction?

Most of those same experts will also tell you the last place you want to be is under a freeway overpass. I believe them.

All that said, if it bothered me that much, I would not live in southern California. We get a good, strong shake once every 20 years or so (Long Beach 1933, Tehachapi 1952, Sylmar 1971, Northridge 1994). Are we due? Yeah, but at my age (57) I might have to deal with only one or two more, so I'll take my chances.
