That’s because our buildings aren’t built to WITHSTAND quakes!

I hate it when you Californians get all uppity over quakes. How about if we send you some hurricanes and tornadoes?

Hurricane, no problem. You can keep the tornado, thanks. There's a reason I don't live in the midwest!

Yup, a shallow quake can be devestating even when it’s low on the scale.

When you see us gnashing our teeth over 60 mph wind gusts feel free to get uppity:)

Yes, we definitely are earthquake snobs here. Anything less than a 7.0 and we yawn.

I moved here from Texas. When I felt my first tremor I practically dove under a table, and everyone laughed.
