I used to live nearby..it really does give a startle!

My son, who now lives in Louisiana, has a girlfriend who is terrified of visitting California because of the earthquakes. She is on guard every visit. We have tried to convince her that most earthquakes are not dangerous and actually pretty fun. She remains unconvinced.

I was never afraid,just worried about the Santa Cruz/ San Francisco people during that quake..I was living in Goleta then and my vertical blinds swung enough for me to check the sliding door to see if it was open a bit.
