Where are you from ?

[Lessinath]

I could dig the hills; frankly, I'm not fond of flat places. But earthquakes and cramped city blocks? Nah...

Especially when you realize just how bad an ~8.0 would be. Fortunately, most earthquakes are short, weak and small, but sometimes not. Oh, and the stresses on some portions of the san andreas and hayward faults are extremely high and could literally rupture any second with over a 90% chance of a major earthquake there in the next two decades. I hope you feel lucky. Sweet dreams.
