Terrifying.
I would hate living in an earthquake prone area——I have a real fear of them.

I am not an seismic expert at all. I am an civil engineer. However, I wonder.....
..the Pacific plate encircles the entire Pacific Ocean. In the past 5 years or so, major earthquates have occurred in Peru, New Zealand and Japan. The area that has been relatively ‘quiet’ is the west coast of North America. Have the other major quakes placed added pressure on the west coast and is waiting to “release”? From my limited experience point of view, it is very plausible that California is due for something large.
I lived in Berkeley literally right on top of the Hayward Fault for 3 years.

I see you live in Massachusetts. I would rather live in my earthquake prone state, only a few miles away from the San Andreas fault, then live in liberal infested Massachusetts. It is far safer here. At least I do not have to see and deal with left wing dingbats on a daily basis.
