I'm amazed that any Californian would think an earthquake less than 8.0 is breaking news? The only one I remember was during the Series, I watched on TV, and screamed that the road was on top of people! Nobody heard me, as the news guys talked about other stuff and the cameras panned.
the news stations out here have been running Loma Prieta flashback shows for days out here.
20 years ago.. I remember that one well.
