I think it all depends on which one you had the most drills on as a child. After years of drills it doesn't seem so scary anymore. <BR/><BR/>California is a magical place...I don't blame you for wanting to live there.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735181858365256678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3397238160624388552.post-62993872229001516962008-04-18T13:03:00.000-07:002008-04-18T13:03:00.000-07:00Actually, it is not uncommon that we are having ea...Actually, it is not uncommon that we are having earthquakes here. As a geologist it doesn't surprise me but I am amazed at how few people know about this area's past earthquake history as we've had some big ones.<BR/>I know it seems like a pessimistic view but there are natural hazards everywhere, we just aren't aware of them. That said, there are obvious places that are worse than others... <BR/>And it is sad that, as a geologist, I missed the whole thing!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03291132180020554860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3397238160624388552.post-53435887113344992832008-04-18T11:20:00.000-07:002008-04-18T11:20:00.000-07:00Yea, who knew that we would get earthquakes in the...Yea, who knew that we would get earthquakes in the midwest? It definitely woke me up early this morning. The people in Cali are probably laughing at us, because ours wasn't as bad as it could have been. haha. Still, when you're not used to it, it can be kind of freaky! Glad the kids slept through it and everyone is ok.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18382404345633594705noreply@blogger.com
