Every time an earthquake is reported from California, I remember Archie Bunker's comment. He said that God is just waiting for the last weirdo to move to California, and then he'll dump the whole thing into the ocean. It should still be pretty safe, because we've still got lots of weirdos back East.

Guess it's good to know that I'm not the last weirdo.

Oh, Jesus, here we go again.  And I thought I just got done with 13 years of that shit.

For the first time.  It apparently was only a 4.4 but it shook our beds and the plantation shutters in our room. It woke the kids up and scared the crap out of them.

On a serious note, you should plan for several days of being on your own in the event of a major earthquake. The City and County of San Francisco has a website, 72hours.org, set up to help you prepare in the event a major disaster hits in your area.

And pray that you move back to Texas in the not too distant future.

I think I'd rather deal with tornadoes and hurricanes.  :(

I lived most of my life in California. A couple a year that you actually notice sounds about right. If you happen to be in the car, or out jogging, you might not even feel one. Most are just a little wiggle, no big deal. I was five miles from the epicenter of the Loma Prieta quake in 89 (7.1 I think). That was fun. Most of the downtown area was a mess for several years, and I don't know anyone who did not suffer some degree of mental trauma as a result of that one.

I remember sleeping in my recliner in Illinois (slab floor in apartment) and the next thing I knew it felt like the chair was moving. I turned on the news and there was reports of an earthquake. At first the news station thought it was a prank call, and then they rec'd several more.

One friend of mine just thought it was the dog jumping up onto her bed or one of the kids...and fell back asleep...

It's freaky that the earth can move like that.
