At least with earthquakes, all your shit is still within 10 feet of where you left it.The only quake I've experienced was a 5.1, and we were a mile from the epicenter. It hit around 7 AM. The hotel room walls were moving like a crazy house, and a large CRT television hit the floor and exploded.
It scared the shit outta me. I'll take the tornado risk in Texas over earthquakes any day.

This was yesterday. I was at work less than 25 miles from there and didn't feel a thing.
Exactly.At least with earthquakes, all your shit is still within 10 feet of where you left it.
I was 8 or 9 years old living in So Cal when Sylmar hit. It woke me up.Pfffttttt 3.6 ? Wait till you experience a real earthquake like the Sylmar quake in the early 70’s or the Whittier Narrows quake back in the mid 90’s. Those 2 quakes got more people to move out of California than Gavin Newsome, lol

The frequency of which REAL earthquakes happen is sooo spread out that its hardly a concern. Tornadoes are every damn year during the same period. Ill take the risk of a earthquake every maybe 10 years over a risk of the roof being ripped off my house every year.The only quake I've experienced was in 1991 in LA. It was a 5.6, and we were a mile from the epicenter. It hit around 7 AM. The hotel room walls were moving like a crazy house, and a large CRT television hit the floor and exploded.

I hear you rrrr! After the Northridge Quake (We lived in Moorpark at the time), we decided to get the heck out of dodge! (i guess it was the straw that broke the camels back) Quakes, crime, traffic, smog, cost of living, and a downturn in my industry( Aerospace) all played a part in our decision to move, didn't know where, but away from Quakes! So we decided on South Carolina. i would much rather know a Hurricane, or strong weather is coming then be woken up at 5:00 am thinking the earth is going to open up and swallow us whole!The only quake I've experienced was in 1991 in LA.

Yeah my dogs don't even twitch an ear until a 53.6? Did somebody fart? lol
