CA will end up falling into the ocean in our lifetime...why people want to live there with quakes, fires, smog etc is beyond me. I lived there during the Northridge earthquake and could not wait to get the fuck out of that place
as my CA "brothers" all chimed in - CA is the GREATEST state to live in. we have the beaches, mountains and everything else anyone could ask for.
as for earthquakes - like most - i am used to it - and a 5-something quake isn't even going to make me sweat and affect me at all. when there is a quake during normal sleeping hours, most of us get woken up, watch/listen to the shaking and 5 minutes after it is over we are back asleep
for those who badmouth CA - KEEP ON DOING IT! we have WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many people here as is - and if you don't want to be here - we don't want you here, either. there is enough traffic as is - one less car will only make it better
and for those who don't like CA - come New Year's Day - when you are trapped inside because the temp is in negative numbers and/or there is snow up to your ass outside - watch the Rose Parade/Bowl game and see what the sun ACTUALLY looks like - for odds are it will be 70 and sunny here
you don't want that? good - stay where you are and think how bad it is out here in CA - for those of us who live here wouldn't live anywhere else!
