There has been several earthquakes around here in past years...oddly, I, being always aware of my surroundings and alert, have never felt anything. Once my bro said that he felt it, then we asked what time, and he said "11PM or so" and the earthquake happened at 8AM...that's him though...

There has never been an earthquake in my area.
I wouldn't mind if there was a small one, like in England. Would be pretty cool to feel the earth shaking

yea Doug, and eathquake at my house would be a disaster...even loud booms of thunder have made stuff move(my dad's subwoofer too...several of mom's chachkas(antiques for the non-Yiddish knowing folks(everyone)) have fallen from the bookshelfs and broken(which my dad defends himself with "I didn't cause it" lol)).
My room is like Japan...no longer just stuff being put horizontally, I've been forced by lack of room to build my civilization upwards to the roof. I estamate that an earthquake above a 2-2.5 could be a national disaster for the Maz kingdom...
Still, I'd like to be on a road or parking lot(with no cars) and just have a huge eathquake, like an 8.5, hit where I'm standing. WEEEEEE!!!!
Or drive across that bridge that was built and destroyed by winds and it would move up and down, side to side by several feet. It was built back in the fourties and shown on TV many times...looked like fun!

I have had a desire to live in California again, but it's such an earthquake prone area and that has kept me away from returning there. I think that I'll just stay put here in Colorado so when California finally breaks off and slides out into the Pacific, I will be living in some prime beach front property.
Spent the first eighteen years of my life in Cali. Been thru a handful of quakes. Now I live in Kansas, and fear ending up in OZ! Earthquakes of the minor variety are kinda neat (as long as crap isn't falling off of shelves and walls. But a little shake can be cool.)
This tornado stuff...
I hate running to the basement every time there is a blow. Boom I hope you're far enough inland that you don't fall in with Cali.

GIL! How ya been?
I live smack dab in the middle of the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 8150 feet. I think I'll be OK up here.
Boy, it's gonna be nice to go snowboarding and surfing all in the same day!
Hmmmm, time to plan a trip to San Andreas with some TNT and a crowbar!
Bye, Bye California!

All's well, working like a dog. Not the lead dog, so the view never changes.
Don't blow up Cali...till my brother moves.
Besides, where will the next stoopid car trend come from if CA is gone?
