Oh it’s so true. Californians are just about as blase as people can get about earthquakes.
If you somehow managed to miss the news, we caught part of an earthquake here today. It was quite big, but here in the OC it was a rolling quake, they don’t tend to do that much damage, since the motion is smooth they’re quite gentle as far as earthquakes go…
Unless of course they’re very, very big. Our ground here is a layer of dirt over a base of mostly sand, and a big rolling quake will cause that sand to act like a liquid, and that, my friends, causes buildings to literally sink into the ground. Awesome! …or not.
