“A 5.3 is news most anywhere BUT here...”
Maybe in the news, but the natives do not get too excited over it.
I’ve begun to come to the conclusion that wherever I am, there will not be major seismic activity. While I was carried/born during one in WA, and ended up a geologist, I’ve not felt a decent one since, to the point that AFTER I’d left VA, they’ve had one there (a few years back).
It may be that my superpowers are charged by draining and relieving the local seismic stresses. If that’s the case, I’m available for rent :-)
