There is a certain amount of seismic ‘statistical noise’ that Californians should learn to tolerate. It’s a planet, not a single-use plastic bag.
Rather like people in Japan.
I’m a native Californian. I get it that the ground settles a bit now and then. That doesn’t keep me from getting a little excited when it happens.
Learn to tolerate? Anything less than 4.0 is shaken but not stirred. 4.0 to 5.5 is an E Ticket ride. Above THAT and maybe we’ll start getting nervous. Every Californian knows that.
