text:  In southern Nevada, I live about 65 miles west of Las Vegas, about 8 miles from the California border, not far from what's called Area 51. And I think I live in a pretty cool earthquake-proof place. But I don't, do I? That's why Yucca Mountain was selected as a site for the nuclear waste depository site. Never to expect any quake of greater than 5 magnitude. And then after the Landers quake, about 4 days after, they had a 5.6 that did some damage to it.
