When I was younger I always wanted to live in California. Call it a young mans dream to watch the sun set behind some killer waves and way too much Point Break and movies like that, but these days you couldnt pay me to live there. Its beautiful and all that, but I prefer my drinks neither shaken nor stirred. The problem I have is that from what I understand there actually is a rather large fault line close to where I live and while mostly inactive, lately there have been news reports even here about quakes. they might be small enough that most people dont notice, but they are becoming more frequent.
Here's another bit of trivia from the United States Geological Survey. In the last 7 days, The United States has had 1251 earthquakes.
