SLOW

I used to think the safest place from natural disasters was Johannesburg, with no volcanos, fault lines, threats from water or anything else dangerous. Recently, I found out that it's built on the continental divide, which is presumably not so good in the long term. Even more surprising, the Jukskei river (and some unwise human decisions) has killed at least 27 people in the last few months. Yesterday, an earthquake, centered about 200 km away, shook some buildings in town and rattled some desks and computers. I was oblivious to it all - having gone outside for a smoke.
