Earthquakes never really bothered me, lived through a lot of them when I was living down there.
Whittier quake was right next door (lived in Downey), Northridge quake was just a few miles away, San Fernando quake happened when I was overseas in RVN.
When I retired to Northern California it was because there are just to many damn people down there.
Much worse than earthquakes.
LOL, you’re pretty much on target there.
Northern California appeals to me.
