I have not been here for a while but could not resist this thread.........
I have lived in Kalifornia my entire life. I was talking with an associate who works in DC and lives in Virginia.
He is also a Kalif native. We talked about the quake, he laughed and said it was a way to go home early, the folks were as scared as we would have been about a tornado. Still glad nobody got hurt.
I have a 40' earthquake kit parked out front, supplied for 6 weeks..................
