Tuesday's Night Earthquake Persuasive Speech

This passage reminds me of the unavoidable earthquake that Vancouver is going to get. Just like the people in the passage who are refusing to believe that their town could be a target, many of my friends are also refusing to believe that Vancouver is a target when the giant earthquake hits. At the same time, I can understand why some of the people in the text who doesn't believe it, because I didn't believe that an earthquake would actually hit Vancouver until last Tuesday's night earthquake. Therefore, now I feel anxious as I have no idea when the next one will come. Similarly, I have a sense that the people in the text are also feeling anxious since they don't know when Molching would be attacked.
