so then why is it so rare we hear about them hitting populated areas? And why do they only hit poor people?

Because when a magnitude 6 quake (btw, it's no longer called the Richter scale) hits an area that isn't poverty-stricken, the existence of things like building codes tend to save a ton of people. Case in point...the shaking from the Chile Quake was almost certainly stronger than the shaking in the Haiti Quake in several populated areas because it was so much more powerful, but in Haiti, basically every single building went down.

3 more weekends and I think this Ark will be finished. Now how do I round up all these animals?

Pretend that all of the animals are clones of Ozzie, and that there are sign up sheets inside the ark for free Websights for all of them which all got the OK nod by KW.

Let them save themselves. It's not like you're saving them so you can eat them to survive.

For the same reason tornadoes only hit motor home parks...God has a sense of humor.
