Same here. I escaped in 2015.
We never gave quakes much thought, just part of life. But, this sounds major.
Unusual, as well.
From Fox, 2 hours ago:

This was interesting, to me...
The earthquakes that hammered the desert town of Ridgecrest sent ruptures on a web of interconnected faults throughout the region, putting added strain on the Garlock Fault. Ross said about 20 previously unknown crisscrossing faults were involved, which adds evidence that major earthquakes can be caused by a more complex process, not solely by a rupture on a single major fault line.
Ross developed automated computer analysis of seismometer data to detect the huge number of aftershocks with precise location information, Caltech and JPL said in a press release. Ross said the 6.4 quake simultaneously broke faults at right angles to each other, which he characterized as surprising.
“I escaped in 2015.”
I got the hell out in 1979. My HS class just had its 50th reunion, and when I was contacted by the reunion committee I told them I would not be attending; and when they asked why, I simply told them that I hated California more than I liked them. I guess I’m now forever off their list.
