A little difference in reaction when you’re dealing with folks who have never felt one before - especially with the entire seaboard not being built to withstand a heavy earthquake... I don’t blame them for being freaked out.
From what I hear the folks at the Pentagon thought it was a bomb or something... Also, my friend on VA Beach got a Tsunami warning and evacuated a bit ago.
I understand Californians brushing this off, but what may be minor to you guys, isn’t necessarily minor for those on the East Coast... It’s kind of like how schools NEVER seem to close up here in N. WI even when there’s 5 ft. of snow but, go to Tennessee and the schools close early when there’s only a TRACE of snow on the roads...
WHEN the big one hits us we are going to need help from all over.
