But water is something we take for granted until there is too much, or wait a few months when there may so little water and everyone will wish for floods again.

And by the way, if it's very quiet at the time, it's possible to hear an earthquake coming. It sounds something like a cross between a jet plane overhead mixed with the sound of a heavy truck rumbling by.
